Organic Geochemical and Mineralogical Effect on Element Enrichment of Cayirhan Oil Shales, Beypazari, Ankara, Turkey

The concentrations of minerals and trace elements in the Cayirhan oil shale (COS) (Beypazari, Ankara / Turkey) were determined by XRD and ICP-MS. Total organic carbon (TOC) content of COS was examined to have higher values (TOC 2.08%-23.29%, average 9.53%). The account of average shale enrichment factors of COS is determined to enrich the elements such as Mn, Mg, Pb, Si, Sr, Zr, K, Ca, Na, U, Ba, Cu, Ni, As, V, Co, Mo, Rb Fe, P, Ti, Sb and Cd,...
