This study mostly investigated the environmental impact of acid mine drainage (AMD) on the tailing of coal cleaning factory in Mazandaran province. This factory is one of the largest and the oldest in the coal concentration in Central Alborze Coal Basin. So, annually huge amounts of coal tailing will be left. The sampling of coal, coal tailing, drainage water from coal tailing, factory's waste ...

Palang Dar gabbrodioritic intrusion cropped out in about 30 Km NE of Damghan in the eastern part of the Alborz structural unit. In this area a few small-scale gabbrodioritic intrusions and diabasic dikes with Middle Jurassic age intruded into shale, sandstones and limestones of Shemshak Formation. Emplacement of this intrusion into host rocks are associated with contact metamorphism and formati...

Keybarkuh is located about 70 Km southwest of Khaf city (Khorasan Razavi Province) in the northeast of the Lut block. Rock units in the area comprises of slate, phyllite, schist and recrystalized limestone with Paleozoic age that was intruded by granite to diorite as dikes and stocks of Cretaceous to Tertiary age. Based on magnetic susceptibility, intrusive bodies are oxidant and reducing which...

Background : Changes of serum minerals and vitamin D have been reported in anticonvulsant drugs user patients. The present study aimed at comparing the changes of serum minerals and vitamin D among two groups of enzyme-inducing and non enzyme-inducing anticonvulsant drug users. Methods: In this study 22 patients treated with enzyme-inducing drugs (carbamazepin, phenytoin, phenobarbital) were co...

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

The Lapeh-Zanak copper deposit is located about 15 km east of Tehran, in the southern part of the Central Alborz Zone. The rock units exposed in this area include a sequence of volcanic and pyroclastic rocks (basalt, andesite, trachy-andesite and dacitic and vitric tuff) belonging to the Fajan Formation with the Paleocene-Lower Eocene age, which are cut by subvolcanic igneous masses with a comp...

Thomsonite along with other zeolite minerals such as natrolite, mesolite, analcime and rarely stellerite in cavities and veins of mafic alkaline lavas in Hormak area, north of Zahedan, eastern Iran, is formed in there distinct habits of blocky, bladed, and waxy-growth. Chemical composition of Hormak thamsonite is reasonably comparable with those of other reported thomsonites. Si/Al ratio of the...

Dehzaman iron deposit is located southwest of Bardaskan, Khorasan Razavi province, and northeast of Kashmar-Kerman Tectonic Zone. Geology of the study area consists of late-Neoprotrozoic-lower Cambrian metamorphsed volcano-sedimentary units, including slate- phyllite, sericite schist, recrystallized carbonate rocks, metarhyolite-metarhyodacite and granitic intrusions. Mineralization is hosted b...
