  • techno economic review on storage of petroleum products in abandoned underground Salt Mines a case study on underground Salt Mines of sardareh region garmsar iran
    International journal of mining science and technology, 2013
    Co-Authors: H Mohammadi, M Noroozi, M Eftekhari
    Abstract:

    Abstract During the past few decades, along with creation of new needs, large spaces of underground Mines (especially abandoned Mines) have found new applications, e.g., storage of petroleum products. Utilization of empty spaces of these Mines as hydrocarbons storage facilities decreases the costs of construction of underground spaces, which can be very expensive and costly. On the other hand, crude oil and other hydrocarbons nowadays are one of the most important factors affecting political and a major part of the domestic economy is achieved through them. Thus, in this paper, a feasibility study has been performed on the application of underground Salt Mines near the city of Garmsar on the southern edge of Alborz mountains and on the north of the central desert of Iran. Through studies of documentaries, field observations and considering technical, geometrical and defensive criterion, the most suitable abandoned underground mine for reutilization as a storage facility is selected and presented.

  • bronze age meat industry ancient mitochondrial dna analyses of pig bones from the prehistoric Salt Mines of hallstatt austria
    BMC Research Notes, 2018
    Co-Authors: Sabine E Hammer, Anton Kern, Hans Reschreiter, Barbara Tautscher, Erich Pucher, Kerstin Kowarik, Elisabeth Haring
    Abstract:

    In the Bronze Age Hallstatt metropolis (‘Salzkammergut’ region, Upper Austria), Salt richness enabled the preservation of pork meat to sustain people’s livelihood suggesting an organized meat production industry on a yearly basis of hundreds of pigs. To pattern the geographic and temporal framework of the early management of pig populations in the surrounding areas of Hallstatt, we want to gain insights into the phylogeographic network based on DNA sequence variation among modern pigs, wild boars and prehistoric (likely) domestic pigs. In this pilot study, we successfully adapted ancient DNA extraction and sequencing approaches for the analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequence variation in ten prehistoric porcine teeth specimens. Minimum-spanning network analyses revealed unique mitochondrial control region DNA haplotypes ranging within the variation of modern domestic pig and wild boar lineages and even shared haplotypes between prehistoric and modern domestic pigs and wild boars were observed.

  • Addressing the Risk of Surface Water Intrusion in Old Romanian Salt Mines
    Mine Water and the Environment, 2007
    Co-Authors: György Deák, Sorin Mihai, Ştefania E. Deák, Ilie Oancea
    Abstract:

    In Romania, surface waters near underground Salt Mines represent a significant risk to the stability of the mine workings. Such problems occur in many Salt exploiting facilities, i.e. Slanic Prahova, Targu Ocna, Praid. In this paper, the authors present a method of dealing with this issue at the Praid Salt mine with research targeted at avoiding the hazard presented by intrusion of surface waters into old mine workings. Monitoring activities are proposed to prevent damage due to the seepage of Corund Creek water into the subsurface Salt body, which could compromise and even produce collapses in the Salt mine sanatorium and old and new Mines.

  • HOW TO PREVENT THE RISK OF SURFACE WATER INTRUSION IN THE OLD PRAID Salt Mines (ROMANIA)
    2007
    Co-Authors: György Deák, Sorin Mihai, E. Deák, Ilie Oancea
    Abstract:

    In Romania, surface waters nearby the underground Salt mine sites have a significant negative impact on the stability of mining works (trapezoidal rooms, rooms and pillars, adits, etc.). Such kind of problems occurs in many Salt exploiting facilities i.e. Slanic Prahova, Tg. Ocna, Praid. In this paper, the authors intend to present a proposal to face this issue at Praid Salt mine. The target of this research is to avoid the hazard represented by intrusion of surface waters into old mining works. Here monitoring activities are proposed to prevent damages due to the seepage of Corund creek water into the subsurface Salt body, fact which could compromise and even produce collapses in Salt mine sanatorium and in both old and new Mines.

  • The hydrogeological situation after Salt-mine collapses at Solotvyno, Ukraine
    Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2020
    Co-Authors: Leonard Stoeckl, Vanessa J. Banks, Stella Shekhunova, Yevgeniy Yakovlev
    Abstract:

    Abstract Study region The study site is located in the south-western part of the Ukraine, in the area of the historical rock-Salt mining town Solotvyno. The former mining area is situated in close vicinity to the River Tisza, the main tributary of the Danube River, the largest river in Europe. Study focus After uncontrolled flooding of several Salt Mines, a one month advisory mission was launched by the European Commission to estimate the impact of the abandoned Salt Mines (containing large quantities of Salt water) on the environment. As a consequence of the flooding, dozens of sinkholes formed and sinkhole forming processes are ongoing, with sinkhole diameters reaching 250 m. As river contamination by the release of large quantities of Saltwater would lead to an international disaster, hydrogeological measurements were taken on-site to study the system. New hydrological insights of the region At the study site, saturated (hyper-saline) water as well as fresh surface and groundwater were encountered in close vicinity to each other. Electrical conductivity, as a proxy for salinity, and temperature were measured on-site and water samples taken from surface-, ground- and mine waters were analyzed for chemistry and stable isotopes, providing new insights into groundwater flow dynamics. A conceptual model shows the Salt dome, and potential flow paths from the mining area to the Tisza River, in the context of the Mines and associated sinkholes potentially impacting the river water quality.
