Türkiye’nin Şanlıurfa ilinde farklı ana materyaller üzerinde oluşan toprakların toplam element konsantrasyonlarının belirlenmesinde XRF ve ICP-OES yöntemlerinin karşılaştırılması

The use of different instrumental methods as an alternative to traditional has become important issue in order detect soil change accurately, quickly and economically. In this study, profiles formed over four common parent materials (Mudflow, Basalt, Limestone Marl) Sanliurfa province Turkey were described. Soil samples collected from each horizon, addition, surface (0-20 cm) cultivated uncultivated lands around the collected. analyzed using (ICP, XRF) techniques determine total element (Si, Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, K, P, Mn, Cr) concentrations oxides, assess impact tillage (cultivated vs uncultivated) on elemental composition. highest percent oxides soils SiO2, CaO, AlO2, MgO. oxide determined by both close other except they statistically different. general, differences mean values investigated elements among found be significant (p < 0.05) while effect was only for results obtained with XRF. impacts status negligible (p>0.05), but MgO shown significantly affected. SiO2 ICP technique quite low compared XRF technique. Overall, terms obtained, method considered more advantageous it provides accurate requires less samples.
