Geochemical studies of natural graphites by INAA determined trace element concentrations
نویسندگان
چکیده
An attempt to characterize natural graphites by their trace element content is reported. Ten samples of graphite of known deposits over the world are classified by their graphitization indices, ranging from 0.26 to 1.00, and analyzed for trace elements content. Results of neutron activation analysis of 28 evaluated elements, i.e. Na, Rb, Cs, Th, U, Cr, Fe, Co, As, Sb, Ag, Au, Se, Te, Zn, Hg, Zr, Hf, Ta, Sc, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb,Yb and Lu, are presented and briefly discussed.

Visualization, integration and analysis of multi-element geochemical data
Geochemical mapping programs carried out by the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) have generated large databases containing information on the concentrations of chemical elements in rocks, surface sediments and biogeochemical materials. Regional geochemical data being imprecise, multivariate, spatially auto-correlated and non-normally distributed pose specific problems to the choice of data ana...

Abstract The best exposed Early Miocene (820 m. thick. ) shales and interbedded silty sandstones beds of the Pyawbwe Formation at Sakangyi- Thayat area,Magway Region are investigated geochemically by using Siemens SRS- X Ray 303 AS XRF Spectrometer. Major and some trace element concentrations have been determined to achieve their provenance, tectonic setting ,paleoweathering , paleoclimate and ...
متن کاملInstrumental Neutron Activation Analysis of Trace Elements in Some Food Spices Consumed In Tehran, Iran
Introduction There is a growing interest in determining the concentration of various elements in food spices. In the present study, the instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was employed to measure the trace elements in 11 commonly food spices consumed in Tehran, Iran. Materials and Methods The levels of K, Mn, Na, Cl, V, Br, Al, and As were determined and their effects on human healt...
متن کاملGeochemical Modeling of Trace Element Release from Biosolids
Biosolids-borne trace elements may be released to the environment when biosolids are used as fertilizers in farm land. Trace element leachate concentrations from biosolids are known to be limited by both organic and inorganic sorbent surfaces; this experimental evidence has not been previously verified with geochemical modeling of sorption reactions. In this study, pH-dependent leaching experim...
متن کاملTRACE ELEMENT STUDY ON THE MIXED CARBONATE-PYROCLASTIC SEDIMENTS (LOWER MIOCENE, CENTRAL BASIN, IRAN)
Geochemical investigations have permitted the refinement of the environmental interpretation of the f-Member of the Qum formation, Central Basin, Iran, which has been established through detailed microfacies (MF) analysis. The analysis revealed that the f-Member carbonates consist of eight distinct microfacies designated by the letters A through H. On the basis of petrographic characteristi...
