TUNELİT (STRONSİYUM BORAT) MİNERALİ ÜZERİNDE ÇALIŞMALAR

Bu çalışmalarda, Türkiye'deki borat cevherlerinin yanısıra ilk defa rastlanan tunelit mineralinin fiziksel, kimyasal ve mineralojik özellikleri incelenmiş ve bileşimi ortaya konmuştur. Bu çalışmalarda gene, tunelit mineralinin termik dekompozisyonu (dehidratasyonu), statik ve dinamik metotlarla incelenmiş ve bu şekilde elde edilen sonuçlar, DTA çalışmaları ve röntgenografik analizlerle de doğrulanmıştır. Çalışmalar sonucunda, tunelit mineralinin, bünyesindeki 4 mol suyu verdikten sonra veatchite dönüştüğü tespit edilmiştir. 

STUDIES ON TUNELLITE (STRONTIUM BORATE) MINERAL

In these studies, the physical, chemical and mineralogical properties of the tunellite found associated with the boron mines in Turkey, which have long been known, have been investigated and the chemical compositon determined. The thermal decomposition of tunellite mineral has been studied both by dynamic and static methods. The results obtained with the methods above were checked with those obtained by Röntgenographic analysis and with the DTA studies. As a result of these studies, it has been observed that the tunellite mineral was transformed into veatchite mineral, after losing 4 molecules of its crystal water.
