Petrography and mineral chemistry of the basaltic rocks and dykes, which are outcropping in the Burunköy (Çorum) region, are discussed in the scope of this thesis. The studied rocks belong to the ophiolitic melange of İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan Suture Zone that were derived from the closure of northern branch of Neotethys. In the study area, the metamorphic rocks of Sakarya Composite Terrane tectonically overlies the ophiolitic melange units, and Upper Neocene sediments cover both units unconformably. The rocks in the study area are divided into three categories; intensely foliated-sheared metabasalts, basalts and doleritic dykes. These rocks are mostly contain pyroxene and feldspar minerals with varying crystal sizes. The augite phenocrysts display reaction rims with reddish color, compositional zoning, corrosion and tailing properties which also observed for feldspars indicating more mafic hot magma impulse into magma chamber during crystallization. The Electron Probe Microanalyser data from constituent minerals of the rock groups revealed that pyroxene and feldspar are augite and albite, respectively. Substitutional mechanism plots generally display more than one group inferring new melt influx(es) into magma that supports the petrographical observations. Mineral chemistry data indicate the rocks have a transitional character from subalkaline to alkaline that derived from a non-orogenic environment. Whole rock geochemical data including isotopic once reveal that the rocks are alkaline in character and generated in a transitional environment between E-MORB and OIB. Furthermore, the data of studied rocks suggest that these rocks evolved from a melt formed by mixture of DMM and EM-I.

Geotechnical characterization and rock mass classification of the Antalya karstic rock masses
Sopacı, Evrim; Akgün, Haluk; Department of Geological Engineering (2012)
This thesis identifies the geotechnical parameters of the Antalya karstic foundation rocks (travertine/tufa), which are highly variable in nature, by means of geological observations, geotechnical site investigations, and field and laboratory geomechanics tests to examine karstic (mainly tufa) rock mass behavior. Several geotechnical parameters such as porosity, seismic wave velocity, uniaxial compressive strength, Young’s modulus, tensile strength, etc. that are thought to have significant influence on roc...
TGA and DSC investigation of different clay mineral effects on the combustion behavior and kinetics of crude oil from Kazan region, Russia
Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Nurgaliev, Danis K. (2021-05-01)
In this research, the effect of different clay minerals (bentonite, illite and kaolinite) on the combustion behavior and kinetics of crude oils from Kazan region (Russia) was studied using thermogravimetry (TGA) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The ramped temperature experiments were performed at constant heating rates (10, 20 and 30 degrees C/min) under air atmosphere. In both TGA and DSC experiments, two reaction zones were identified known as low temperature oxidation (LTO) and high temperatu...
Non-isothermal kinetic analysis and feasibilty study of medium grade crude oil field
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-03-01)
In this research, non-isothermal kinetics and feasibility study of medium grade crude oil is studied in the presence of a limestone matrix. Experiments were performed at a heating rate of 10 degrees C min(-1), whereas the air flow rate was kept constant at 50 mL min(-1) in the temperature range of 20 to 600 degrees C (DSC) and 20 to 900 degrees C (TG). In combustion with air, three distinct reaction regions were identified in all crude oil/limestone mixtures, known as low temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel d...
Sorption/desorption of Cs on clay and soil fractions from various regions of Turkey
Aksoyoglu, S.; Göktürk, H. (Elsevier BV, 1988-2)
The sorption desorption behaviour of Cs ion in the concentration region of 10−8 to 10−4 meqml−1 have been studied using clay and soil fractions from various regions of Turkey. The sorption curves for all the material studied show similar behaviour indicating at least two different sorption processes. One with high and the other with low distribution coefficients. The results of desorption studies indicate that Cs cation is to a large extent attached to the solid material in a reversible manner. The adsorpti...
Zooplankton of the Black Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean Similarities and dissimilarities
Kovalev, Av; Mazzocchı, Mg; Sıokoufrangou, I.; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (2001-01-01)
A synthesis of data on abundance and biomass of zooplankton in the Eastern Mediterranean (EMED) and the Black Sea shows major differences in the composition and structure of pelagic communities in the two basins. Few Mediterranean planktonic animals have invaded in the Black Sea. The great bulk of Black Sea species is represented by coastal inhabitants that spread throughout the whole basin. This process has been called “neritization” of the Black Sea fauna. Peculiarities in zooplankton assemblages of the B...
