چکیده

the alborz coal basin is located in northern part of iran. the coal deposits of shahrood in eastern alborz, zirab in central alborz and abyek in western alborz were studied as typical coalfields of the basin. shemshak formation which is the main coal-bearing sequence was formed during the triassic-jurassic in the basin. it consists of sandstone, siltstone, shale and claystone, which variedly alternate with coal seams. the coal seams have relatively low quality because of highly disturbed and tectonized, having been subjected to multiple phases of orogenic deformation. the coals of alborz basin are bituminous type and are dominated by macerals of vitrinite group and have relatively low proportions of exinite and fusinite. they contain different minerals such as clays (mostly argillite), pyrite and quartz as well as plant remains such as cladophlebis, marattia and pachypteris. to compare the main geochemical characters of three typical coalfields of alborz basin, we analyzed 18 samples for major oxides, ash and so3 content. the geochemical data show that the enrichment factor for major elements is less than 2. the ti, p and mn are enriched with high enrichment factor of 3, 18 and 7, respectively. the mineralogical and petrographic characters of the samples indicate that the coals were formed in lagoons and peat-swamps, fluvial flood plain to lacustrine depositional systems that experienced subtropical to tropical climatic conditions.

The origin of the Bentonite deposits of Tashtab Mountains (Central Iran): Geological, Geochemical, and Stable Isotope evidences

Bentonite deposits of economic interest are widespread in Tashtab Mountains (Khur), east of Isfahan province, Iran. Several bentonite deposits have been developed in this area as a result of Eocene volcanic alteration. These deposits are classified as Khur bentonite horizon. XRD analyses reveal that alteration products consist of Na-montmorillonite, kaolinite, quartz, calcite, and crystobalite....

Fuzzy logic modeling for hydrothermal gold mineralization mapping using geochemical, geological, ASTER imageries and other geo-data, a case study in Central Alborz, Iran

The study area is located ~50 km in the north of Tehran capital city, Iran, and is a part of central Alborz Mountain. The intrusive bodies aged post Eocene have intruded in the Eocene volcanic units causing hydrothermal alterations in these units. Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) images were used to map hydrothermal alteration zones. The propylitic, phyllic...

Environmental Impact Assessment of Coal Washing Plant (Alborz- Sharghi –Iran)

This paper utilises the modified Folchi method to assess the environmental impact of coal washing plant, Alborz Sharghi, North-east Iran. In this study, the number of factors designed in the method was slightly modified by focusing on the environmental impact of coal washing operations. In addition, few other factors were designed and added to the previous factors. Then, twenty-one values of en...
