Investigation Of Temporal Variation In Sediment Deposition Within The Tropical Wouri Estuary Cameroon Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Olumide Ajulo, Dr. Henry Agbogun, Dr. Hendratta Ali Apr 2024

Investigation Of Temporal Variation In Sediment Deposition Within The Tropical Wouri Estuary Cameroon Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Olumide Ajulo, Dr. Henry Agbogun, Dr. Hendratta Ali

SACAD: John Heinrichs Scholarly and Creative Activity Days

In this study, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was employed to qualitatively analyze organic and mineral components of the sediment core collected from the Wouri Estuary. The FTIR spectra revealed distinct transmittance corresponding to different organic and mineral phases, allowing for the characterization of sediment composition. The FTIR spectra showed changes and variation progressively from the bottom to the top. These sediments are proxies for time this can be inferred to say deposition in the Wouri Estuary has always changed.

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration

This paper explain research results for Holocene sedimentary processes and controlling factors on Datça and Hisarönü Bays located in south west Turkey. For this purpose, we collected sea bottom grab samples (upper 30 cm) from 71 stations and seismic profiles (we use only one sample explain to sedimentary process) collected in MTA-SELEN research ship on Hisarönü and Datça Bays. It is known and widely applied in seismic analysis methods and techniques are used on seismic profile which according to the continental shelf edge or threshold current -90 / -120 m water depth. At the same time, seismic profile were showed …


Longitudinal Profile And Sediment Mobility As Geomorphic Tools To Interpret The History Of A Fluviokarst Stream System, John Woodside, Eric Wade Peterson, Toby Dogwiler Apr 2015

Longitudinal Profile And Sediment Mobility As Geomorphic Tools To Interpret The History Of A Fluviokarst Stream System, John Woodside, Eric Wade Peterson, Toby Dogwiler

International Journal of Speleology

The complex drainage systems within karst settings can result in atypical longitudinal profiles. Features, such as cave entrances, can be expressed as anomalous ‘bumps’ in the longitudinal profile of a stream if downcutting has continued upstream of the area in which the water is pirated to the subsurface. Horn Hollow, a fluviokarst valley located in Carter Caves State Park Resort in northeastern Kentucky, was examined for these types of features. The objectives of this study were to determine if sediment mobility can be used as a proxy for anomalous areas along the profile of the valley and if detailed cross-sections …


Genesis Of Sedimentary- And Vein-Type Magnesite Deposits At Kop Mountain, Ne Turkey, Selahatti̇n Kadi̇r, Hasan Kolayli, Muhsi̇n Eren Jan 2013

Genesis Of Sedimentary- And Vein-Type Magnesite Deposits At Kop Mountain, Ne Turkey, Selahatti̇n Kadi̇r, Hasan Kolayli, Muhsi̇n Eren

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Sedimentary- and vein-type magnesites were deposited within and on ultramafic rocks of the Kop Mountain region in Bayburt province. In the field, magnesites are exposed along NE-SW trending normal faults and in fractures in the ultramafic rocks. Petrographic studies reveal that magnesite is predominantly micrite, but also occurs as microsparite formed by recrystallization of micrite. The ultramafic rocks hosting the magnesites consist of serpentinized olivine, hypersthene and diopside. Ni, Co and Ti contents of magnesites suggest precipitation from percolating water through the serpentinized ultramafic rocks. The sedimentary- and vein-type magnesites have different \delta^{18}O and \delta^{13}C values, characterizing formation under different …

Determination Of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulphonates And Their Biodegradation Intermediates By Isocratic Rp-Hplc, Mehmet Akyüz, David J. Roberts Jan 2002

Determination Of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulphonates And Their Biodegradation Intermediates By Isocratic Rp-Hplc, Mehmet Akyüz, David J. Roberts

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

An HPLC method was developed to determine linear alkylbenzene sulphonates (LASs) and their biotransformation products sulphophenyl carboxylates by isocratic chromatography using two C_{18} columns in series. Solid-phase extraction with a (C_{18}) cartridge was employed to isolate LAS from sediment and sewage effluent samples. Sodium perchlorate and ammonium perchlorate were used as ion pair agents. The recovery of the compounds was 94% \pm 2 and 98% \pm 2 respectively for sediment and sewage effluent. It was demonstrated that it is possible to separate LAS compounds and their isomers and homologues using this system.
