Türkiye’de Farklı Yörelerde Bulunan Kolemanit Minerallerinin Fiziksel, Kimyasal Ve Termal Özelliklerinin Tayini

Abstract

In this study, colemanite is an important boron mineral which constitutes about 76% of Turkey's boron reserves, is frequently used in applications obtained as a result of scientific and technological developments. In this context, a detailed literature survey was carried out colemanite minerals. Characteristic and structural features of the colemanite samples of four different regions (Kestelek, Emet (Hisarcık, Espey), Bigadiç regions) were determined by analyzes such as X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Inductively Coupled Plasma, ICP and Mass Spectrometry, MS (ICP-MS), Thermogravimetric and Differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), and Fouier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) methods. In line with these findings, the mineralogical, chemical and thermal properties of pure colemanite crystals were determined and the similarities and differences between the samples were revealed. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
