Abstract

In this study, the contents of thirty-five elements (nine major-minor oxides, twenty-one heavy metals, and five other elements) in eighty-four muscovite samples collected from three commercially operated quarries in Manisa province of Turkey were determined using an energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer. The mean concentrations of SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, MgO, Na2O, Fe2O3, P2O5, TiO2 and CaO analyzed in mica samples were determined as 57.1, 32.8, 8.7, 2.9, 1.4, 0.8, 0.3, 0.3 and 0.3%, respectively. The mean concentrations of Cr, Zr, Mn, Zn, Ni, Co, Pb, Cu, Cd and Hg analyzed as primary toxic trace heavy metals in mica samples were found as 136.2, 124.6, 58.7, 19.2, 14.8, 6.8, 6.3, 2.6, 2.0 and 1.2 mg kg-1, respectively.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Manisa ilinde ticari olarak işletilen üç ocaktan toplanan seksen dört mika örneğinde otuz beş elementin (dokuz ana-minör oksitler, yirmi bir ağır metal ve diğer beş element) içerikleri bir enerji dağıtıcı X-ışını floresan (EDXRF) spektrometresi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Mika numunelerinde analiz edilen SiO2, Al2O3, K2O, MgO, Na2O, Fe2O3, P2O5, TiO2 ve CaO'nun ortalama konsantrasyonları sırasıyla %57.1, 32.8, 8.7, 2.9, 1.4, 0.8, 0.3, 0.3 ve 0.3 şeklindedir. Mika numunelerinde birincil toksik eser ağır metaller olarak analiz edilen Cr, Zr, Mn, Zn, Ni, Co, Pb, Cu, Cd ve Hg'nin ortalama konsantrasyonları sırasıyla 136.2, 124.6, 58.7, 19.2, 14.8, 6.8, 6.3, 2.6, 2.0 ve 1.2 mg kg-1 olarak belirlenmiştir.
