The data obtained from field and geothermometric studies and also the REE composition of fluorites associated with lead mineralization at the Kamar-Mehdi mine are compatible with a structurally controlled, fissure filling, epigenetic, hydrothermal origin. Homogenization and last ice melting temperatures for primary fluid inclusions trapped in fluorite crystals indicate that the mineralizati...

the contamination of riverbed sediments by heavy metals has assumedserious problems due to their toxicity and accumulative behavior. the present studyinvestigated the concentrations of heavy metals from the bottom sediments of shitalakhyariver to understand the level of contamination and their distribution. the averageconcentrations of heavy metals al, k, ca, mg, fe, as, cu, co, cr, and zn are ...

The Sungun porphyry copper deposit is located in northwestern Iran and is associated with diorite/granodiorite to quartz-monzonite of Miocene age, which intruded Eocene volcanosedimentary and Cretaceous carbonate rocks. Copper mineralization was accompanied by both potassic and phyllic alteration. Three main mineralization related alteration episodes (potassic, transition, and phyllic alteratio...

a total of 148 groundwater samples were collected from bore wells from thirumanimuttar sub-basin for two seasons to identify major geochemical process activated to alter groundwater chemistry. the study revealed relationships with the lithology and anthropogenic process. groundwater in the region was dominated by na – ca – mg and cl and hco3 types. the (ca +mg) versus tz+ plot for both seas...

ABSTRACT- The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of chemical thinning on seasonal variations of leaf and fruit mineral compositions of ‘Soltani’ apple trees. Treatments, including unthinned control, naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) at 5 and 10 mg L-1, naphthaeneacetamide (NAD) at 25 and 50 mg L-1, benzyladenine (BA) at 50 and 100 mg L-1 and carbaryl at 500 and 1000 mg L-1 were appl...
