TRANSPORT PHENOMENA OF SULPHATE THROUGHOUT DAM LAKE SYSTEM

In this study, the river Munzur, the river Pulumur, and Uzuncayir Dam Lake, ten sampling stations have been identified. For each station, in January, March and May, sulphate concentration was measured. For 120 days, every station, changing the concentration of sulphate, has been considered as the first-order reaction kinetics. Accordingly, the reaction constant k: 4,10 * 10 -3 day -1 was calculated. According to the calculated reaction constant the final sulphate concentration of each station was calculated. Experimental and calculated final sulphate concentrations were compared. For ten stations, at the end of four months, changes in sulphate concentrations shown to be identified with first-order reaction kinetics.
