ENVIRONMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY

The geochemical characteristics of the rock associations belonging to the lithologies located in the locations where the projects will be made can give different chemical reactions according to the application methods and purposes of the projects. The most important example of this is the case of “Acid Rock Drainage and Metal Leaching”, which is created in a certain process after some lithologies existing underground are exposed to atmospheric conditions. Although this situation creates highly effective polluting conditions for water bodies, the potential of this situation should be determined before the projects are implemented and preventive methods should be determined if a risk related to this issue may be encountered in the future.

​

In this context, as Theory Earth Sciences, with our expert staff, we will determine the geochemical characterization of the lithologies or the artificial fillings to be created in the region according to the implementation methods of the projects, reveal the behavior patterns under various pH conditions, and reveal how the quality of the existing water bodies in the region will be affected after the worst scenarios that may occur. and national  and international standards  we provide consultancy and engineering services on the determination of preventive methods.
