calcareous nannofossils in boundary of tirgan and sarcheshmeh formations at qalezo section have been studied. this section is situated in the west of kopet-dagh basin. in this study 35 nannoplankton species of 17 genera were identified. according to the first occurrence of index species and fossil assemblages two calcareous nannofossil biozones (cc7-cc8) of sissingh (1997) have been recognized....

The biosorption process of a lypophilised cell suspension of Aspergillus niger was studied for selenite ( − 2 3 SeO ) removal from acid mine drainage in the Sarcheshmeh porphyry copper mine. The biomass was first characterised by the potentiometric titration, and the major ionic content was evaluated. The experimental data suggest that the biomass cell wall contains two main acidic groups with ...

knowledge of the probable origin and behaviour of arsenic certainly gives valuable insights into the potential for transfer in the environment and of the risks involved in mining sites. sequential extraction analyses are common experiments often used to study the origin and behaviour of potentially toxic elements. the method, however, presents some deficiencies, including labor-intensive proced...

sarcheshmeh copper complex is the largest producer of copper in iran. with copper production, high amounts of so2 are being produced in this complex and emmited into the environment. so, in this study, the social optimum level of so2 released from this complex and the optimal tax rate will be evaluated. for this purpose, md and mac curves were estimated. the wtp for the reduction of so2 emissio...

according to circumstance of kerman sarcheshmeh cooper complex that its anode slime is mainly consisted of cu, ag, au, pb and se. in this work, recovery of silver from anode slime and subsequent synthesis of silver nanoparticles from leaching solution was made. silver was separated from anode slime by using of hno3 and hcl. x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (xrf) was used to characterize anode sl...

the uniaxial compressive strength (ucs) of intact rocks is an important geotechnical parameter required for designing geotechnical and mining engineering projects. obtaining accurate estimates of the rock mass ucs parameter throughout a 3d geological model of the deposit is vital for determining optimum rock slope stability, designing new exploratory and blast boreholes, mine planning, optimizi...

Soils around mining sites play a significant role in the transport and control of heavy metals in the environment. Therefore, understanding the adsorption properties of soil is essential in solving pollution problems. The objective of this paper was to study Zn(II) adsorption onto Sarcheshmeh copper mine soils. The adsorption isotherms of Zn(II) were studied. The Langmuir isotherm indicated an ...
