... Esterification and Silylation. The method reported by Hardy and Kerrin (1972) was followed. Standards were first esterified with 0.3 mL of 3 N HC1 in n-butanol at 150°C for 15 min. Next, the esterified standards were silylated ...

This study presents the hydrogeological impact assessment of the Kazan Trona project area, Turkey, where solution mining will be used to extract the source. Geological, hydrogeological and hydrogeochemical data are used to define hydrogeological units and flow conditions in the area. Three aquifers systems were identified and interactions between them were conceptualized into a site hydrogeological model. A finite difference groundwater flow model was developed to represent aquifer systems and the flow conditions. The model has been calibrated under steady state and transient conditions. Model outputs has shown good agreement between the observed and simulated heads, and flow conditions. The volumetric budget of the system was continuously checked with estimated groundwater budget components. Results confirmed the accuracy of the numerical groundwater flow model and verified the conceptual understanding of the area. The resulting model was used in conjunction with a three dimensiona...
