Evaluation of background geochemical speciation of heavy metals in overburden topsoil of bituminous sand deposit area, Ondo state, Nigeria
Metals are ubiquitous within the earth crust. However, the exceptional high-level concentration of heavy metals in the soil due to natural or anthropogenic activities and the chemical forms in which they exist determine the level of risk they portend to the environment. This work was aimed at determining the background level of the presence of seven priority toxic metals (Cr, Ni, Pb, As, Cd, Cu...
متن کاملThe Influence of Fabric Arrangement on Oil Sand Samples from the Estuarine Depositional Environment of the Upper McMurray Formation, #80197 (2011)
The Upper McMurray Formation of Canada, more specifically samples from the estuarine depositional settings taken in Athabasca, displayed high porosity based on an initial study. This work involved thin section imaging and micro CT-scanning in determining reservoir characteristics. The results from the thin section analysis for the porosity estimation showed that the estimated porosity lay betwe...
متن کاملDepositional History of Miocene-Age Sediments from the Weddell Sea, Antarctica, Using Sedimentological and Geochemical Proxies
Understanding the stability of Antarctic Ice Sheets is a key to understanding past climates and the response of ice-sheets to warming. In this thesis, I examined the middle through upper Miocene marine sedimentological and geochemical record in the Weddell Sea. Sediments were recovered at Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 694 located in 4653 m of water in the northern Weddell Sea Abyssal Plain,...
متن کاملEvaluation of stream sediment contamination by potentially toxic elements around mining and farming areas (SE Nigeria)
In this work, the concentrations of the potentially toxic elements in stream sediments in SE Nigeria were assessed for pollution monitoring in mining, quarrying, and farming areas. The levels of iron, molybdenum, vanadium, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, cobalt, manganese, chromium, barium, and beryllium were determined. The concentrations of the elements were in the order of Fe > Ba > Mn > Cr > Zn...
متن کاملMineralogical and geochemical investigations of chromite ores from ophiolite complexes of SE Iran in terms of chrome spinel composition
Ten chromite ores from ophiolite complexes in SE Iran were analyzed mineralogically by XRD, chemically by XRF, and mineral chemistry by EPMA. The identified paragenesis of silicate minerals of chromite ores with the X-ray diffraction is pronounced differently. It consists of secondary phases formed as serpentine, Cr-containing chlorite (kaemmererite), chromic garnet (uarovite) with preserved pa...
