In order to understand the processes occurring in natural hydrothermal systems, it was carried out a series of water–volcanic rock interaction studies in the laboratory and an intermediate volcanic rock samples from geothermal production wells in Tuzla geothermal field (TGF) in western Turkey. A high-pressure autoclave was used to conduct water–rock interaction experiments under similar conditions of the field. Rainwater and seawater were treated with volcanic rocks at 140 °C (reservoir temperature) and 4.5 bar pressure. The change in the ionic content of the resulting fluids was examined in terms of the type of volcanic rocks and mineral saturation index. The results indicate that talc and diopside minerals in geothermal systems may cause scaling at high temperatures depending on the geothermal fluid and pH.

为了了解天然热液系统中发生的过程，在实验室进行了一系列水-火山岩相互作用研究，并从土耳其西部的图兹拉地热田（TGF）的地热生产井中抽出了中间的火山岩样品。在该油田的类似条件下，使用高压高压釜进行水-岩相互作用实验。用火山岩在140°C（水库温度）和4.5 bar压力下处理了雨水和海水。根据火山岩的类型和矿物质饱和度指数检查了所得流体中离子含量的变化。结果表明，地热系统中的滑石和透辉石矿物可能会在高温下引起结垢，具体取决于地热流体和pH值。
