Element Contents and Organic Matter−Element Relationship of the Tertiary Oil Shale Deposits in Northwest Anatolia, Turkey

Major-element and trace-element content of oil shales in northwest Anatolia and their enrichment with respect to average shale have been investigated as well as the relationship between the total organic carbon (TOC) and different elements and the correlation between the different fields. The trace-...

Description
Summary:Major-element and trace-element content of oil shales in northwest Anatolia and their enrichment with respect to average shale have been investigated as well as the relationship between the total organic carbon (TOC) and different elements and the correlation between the different fields. The trace-element contents of the oil shales are generally similar, although the concentrations of some elements, such as As, B, Ba, Cr, Hg, Mo, Ni, and V, show a few differences. The contents of Ag, Au, B, Ba, Hg, Pb, Sb, Sn, Th, V, and Zn in the oil shales are lower than those of average shale. Only the Re concentration in all of the fields studied is greater than that in average shale. On the basis of the low-enrichment factors (
