Asphaltite derives from petroleum origin solid fossil fuel [1]. It contains valuable elements such as chromium, thallium molybdenum, uranium etc. Chromium and thallium are very important elements both environmental and health. Chromium has an important role in the metabolism. It keeps the blood sugar level in balance. It balances the level of cholesterol. Thallium and its compounds are toxic for humans even at low doses. Poisoning causes death or permanent nervous system disorders. The development of precise and e...

Asphaltites derive from petroleum origin. The combustion of asphaltites produces fly and bottom ashes that are characterized by a high content of valuable elements such as vanadium, nickel, molybdenum, uranium, thorium, sulfur and unburnt carbon [1]. This study presents the concentration and speciation of nickel in bottom ash of Milli (Sirnak), SE Anatolia in Turkey. Determination of total nickel in asphaltite bottom ash was performed in two stage microwave-acid digestion followed by inductively coupled plasma opt...

Coal bottom ash (CBA) contains many elements that exist in different forms, which may change throughout the coal combustion process. This study presents the concentration and speciation of zinc in bottom ash of coal. Determination of total zinc was performed by two-stage microwave-acid digestion followed by ICP-OES. A sequential extraction process to speciation of zinc from coal bottom ash was investigated [1]. The definition of species is based on several different levels of atomic and molecular structure where c...

In the context of this study, 19 Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES), 17 Total Organic Ca rbon(TOC) and Rock Eval Pyrolysis, 8 Thin Layer Chromatography, Extraction and Column Chromatography, 16 Gas Chromatography (GC),15 Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry(GC-MS), 8 Stable Carbon Isotope Analysis(GC-IRMS) were performed with solid samples of Hydrocarbon Seepage from 7 provinces (Adiyaman, Batman, Diyarbakir, Kilis, Mardin, Siirt, Ећirnak) in Southeastern Region of Anatolia of Turke...

This study was carried out in Golbasi (Ad Д±yaman) region (SE of TURKEY), which owns rare coal formations in the region. Chemical, petrographic analysis and organic geochemical evaluations of the Tertiary aged coals were taken into consideration. Coal quality investigation along with proximate (m oisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon, ash) and elemental analyses (C, H, O, S, N) were performed and revealed. The huminite reflectance of organically abundant matter and coal levels were found to be between 0.30 and 0....
