  • Petrology of Ore Deposits
    Petrology of Ore Deposits An Introduction to Economic Geology Introductory Definitions Ore: a metalliferous mineral, or aggregate mixed with gangue that can me mined for a profit Gangue: associated minerals in ore deposit that have little or no value. Protore: initial non-economic concentration of metalliferous minerals that may be economic if altered by weathering (Supergene enrichment) or hydrothermal alteration Economic Considerations Grade: the concentration of a metal in an ore body is usually expressed as a weight % or ppm. The process of determining the grade is termed “assaying” Cut-off grade: after all economic and political considerations are weighed this is the lowest permissible grade that will mined. This may change over time. Example Economic Trends Economy of Scale As ore deposits are mined the high-grade zones are developed first leaving low-grade ores for the future with hopefully better technology Since mining proceeds to progressively lower grades the scale of mining increases because the amount of tonnage processed increases to remove the same amount of metal Outputs of 40,000 metric tons per day are not uncommon Near-surface open pit mines are inherently cheaper than underground mines Other factors important to mining costs include transportation, labor, power, equipment and taxation costs Classification of Ore bodies Proved ore: ore body is so thoroughly studied and understood that we can be certain of its geometry, average grade, tonnage yield, etc. Probable ore: ore body is somewhat delineated by surface mapping and some drilling. The geologists is reasonably sure of geometry and average grade. Possible Ore: outside exploration zones the geologist may speculate that the body extends some distance outside the probable zone but this is not supported by direct mapping or drilling.

The mission, which was organized jointly with the World Health Organization (WHO), the Ministry of Health of Turkey and the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency of the Prime Ministry of Turkey (AFAD), the United Nations Populations Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for refugees (UNHCR) and comprised representatives of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). It was coordinated by WHO. The primary goals of the mission were: to gain a better understanding of the capacities existing in the camps, including the health services provided, and the functioning of the referral system; and, on the basis of the findings, identify how the United Nations agencies could contribute to supporting activities related to safeguarding the health of the more than 138 000 Syrian citizens living in Turkey at the time of the mission. The mission team found that the high-level Turkish health-care services were accessible to and free of charge for all Syrian refugees, independent of whether they were living in or outside the camps.

Published in The Netherlands under Photocopying permitted by license only. license by Gordon and Breach Science Publishers Printed in India IMPROVING GRADE OF INDIAN CHROMITE ORES BY HIGH-GRADIENT MAGNETIC SEPARATION R. BHIMA RAO, B. DAS AND S.R.S. SASTRI Regional Research Laboratory, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, Bhubaneswar 751 013, India (Received July 3, 1996, in final form August 12, 1996) Abstract Investigations were carried out to improve the chromium-to-iron ratio of two off-grade chromite samples from Orissa, India, having different physical natures. The results of these investigations indicated that the chromium-to-iron ratio could be improved from 1.85 to 3.0 with around 10% to 30% recoveries by high-intensity magnetic separation of the washed ores. A common flowsheet is suggested for processing of these two ores. INTRODUCTION The major portion of the Indian chromite ore reserves are located in Sukinda-Naushai belt of Orissa, and belong to the lateritic iron group ores group. Approximately 40% of these reserves are suitable for metallurgical use, 33% for refractory making and 27% for chemical industries [1]. The purpose for which a given ore can be used depends on the chromium-to-iron ratio besides the CrO content. Ores having chromium-to-iron ratio above 2.8 are considered suitable for metallurgical purposes and those with the ratio between 2.8 and 1.8 for charge chrome/refractory uses, while the rest with ratio below 1.8 are used for production of chemical [1].

Composition, texture, and paragenesis of unaltered PGM enclosed in fresh chromitite of the ophiolites indicate that the PGM formed by a sequence of crystallization events before, during, and probably after primary chromite precipitation. The most important controlling factors are sulfur fugacity and temperature. Laurite and Os–Ir–Ru alloys are pristine liquidus phases crystallized at high temperature and low sulfur fugacity: they were trapped in the chromite as solid particles. Oxygen thermobarometry supports that several chromitites underwent compositional equilibration down to 700 ◦C involving increase of the Fe3/Fe2 ratio. These chromitites contain a great number of PGM including—besides laurite and alloys—erlichmanite, Ir–Ni–sulfides, and Ir–Ru sulfarsenides formed by increasing sulfur fugacity. Correlation with chromite composition suggests that the latest stage of PGM crystallization might have occurred in the subsolidus.

  • Türkiye'de Turizm Ulaştirmasi 21
    TÜRKİYE’DE TURİZM ULAŞTIRMASI (Tourism Transportation in Turkey) Dr. SUNA DOĞANER* ÖZET: Ulaşım seyehati mümkün kılar ve bu sebepten turizmin önemli bir parça­ sıdır. Ulaşım herşeyden önce turizmin gelişiminin sebebi ve sonucudur: Ula­ şım sistemlerinin gelişimi turizmi canlandırır, turizmin yayılması da ulaşımı geliştirir. Karayolu ulaşımı, Türkiye’de pekçok sayfiyenin, tarihi ve kültürel merkezin doğması ve gelişmesinde önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Türkiye’de pek çok şehire hava ulaşımının sağlanması uzak yerlere ulaşımı kolaylaştırmıştır. Organize turların gelişmesi aynı zamanda hava ulaşımını canlandırmıştır. De­ nizde seyehat oldukça zevklidir ve gemi seyehatlerine olan ilgi artmaktadır. Uluslararası hatlarda feribot seferleri Adriyatik (İzmir-Venedik ve Antalya- Venedik arasında) ve Kıbrıs hatlarında yapılmaktadır ayrıca iç hatlarda feri­ bot seferleri vardır. Buharlı Tren Turları Türkiye’de demiryolu ile seyehatin gelişmesinde önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Sonuç olarak Türkiye’de ulaşım iç ve dış turizmde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. ABSTRACT: Transport, which makes travel possible, is therefore an integral part of to­ urism. Transport has been at once a cause an effect of the growth of tourism: improved transport facilities have stimulated tourism, the expansion of tou- ırsm has stimulated transport. Road transport has been a very important fac­ tor affecting the rise and growth of many seaside resorts, historic and cultural centers in Turkey. The inception of air transport to many cities made easy long­ distance transport posible in Turkey. The development of package tours has also stimulated air transport. Sea travel is in itself a pleasure and cruising ho­ lidays have grown in importance. Ferry -boat cruises on international lines are Adriatic (between İzmir-Venice and Antalya-venice) and Cyprus services.
