Hydrogeology and pedology of saprolite formed from sedimentary rock, eastern Tennessee, USA
Groundwater flow in sedimentary rock saprolite, and in soils derived from this material, is strongly influenced by sedimentary layering and fractures inherited from the parent bedrock. The main objectives of this study were to determine whether parent bedrock lithology and infilling of fractures and other macropores with pedogenically derived clays and Fe/Mn oxides also play major roles in cont...
متن کاملwhole rock and study of formation of eastern gneisses of Salmas (west of Urumia Lake), NW Iran
East Salmas gneisses are located in the northernmost parts of the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone and are seen in banded and deformed with the 6 different groups of lithological diversity. Their protolith is of paragneiss type with arkosic sedimentary rock type.Texturally, they are immature. Based on this study, chemical maturation trend of protolith of the present investigated gneisses are in the arid to...
متن کاملPure-phase transport and dissolution of TCE in sedimentary rock saprolite.
The objective of this study was to experimentally determine the influence of pore structure on the transport and dissolution of trichloroethylene (TCE) in clay-rich saprolite. In order to simulate a "spill," pure-phase TCE containing a water-insoluble fluorescent dye was injected into two heterogeneous 24-cm-diameter by 37-cm-long undisturbed columns of water-saturated saprolite. TCE entry occu...
متن کاملEpi-fluorescence micromorphology of saprolite reveals evidence for colloid retention in microscale pore systems
Transport and retention of colloid tracers were evaluated in standard petrographic thin sections, prepared from saprolite (Cr horizons) formed from fractured sedimentary rocks, using epi-fluorescence microscopy. Thin sections prepared from dismantled hydrogeological columns revealed four domains of macropores with apparent apertures ranging from 1 to 500 Am. Colloid retention occurred within bo...
متن کاملPetrography and Geochemistry of the Upper Jurassic Siliciclastic Rocks Equivalent to the Mozduran Gas Reservoir in the Eastern Kopet-Dagh Basin, NE Iran
In this research, petrographic and geochemical (major and trace elements) characteristics of siliciclastic rocks of the Mozduran Formation in the eastern Kopet-Dagh Basin have been carried out in order to reveal their provenance such as source area paleoweathering, parent rock composition and tectonic setting. Mozduran Formation is mainly composed of limestone and dolomite, with minor amounts o...
