Ultrafiltration of Saline Waters in Geothermal Fields Hot Water Discharge

Abstract

Southeastern Anatolia contains sulphide ore deposits, sulfur-containing complexes containing 2-4% Fe and ferric acidic solutions and geothermal Billoris hot streams near field. Siirt and Hakkari regions contained showed wide distribution of metallic ions such as copper, lead, zinc in Fe sulphide deposits, even hot streams such as alkali brines of potassium and sodium in Billoris region. Siirt copper concentrator is produced at least 100 thousand tons of processed and several million tons of ore tailings in the pond as slurry. Every year about 1 million tonnes of saline waters fill the lakes and streams in the Mesopotamian. Geographical Water sources and produced ore tailings in Siirt was 300 thousand tons of ferric slurries. For this reason, the common waste slurry muds and effluents of ponds in the region becomes critical for nature and fish fauna and agricultural crops. It may be advantageous to assess the extent of these slurry mud and precipitates occurring in a particle size, usually below 10 microns. In our country, the evaluation of pyrite Fe silicate wastes in the Siirt and Hakkari region of 15 m thickness spread over a wide area outside of this ore production has been discussed as chemical production in this study. This research has proved to be advantageous in producing easily filtered and ultra-filtered in bands and pressure vessels and pond filtration of brine waste slurries and compared with their evaluation in terms of basic geo-permeability and hydraulical conductivity properties.
