Abstract:
The chabazitic and phillipsitic tuffs presented in this study are located in the south of Sandıklı (Afyon-west Anatolia). In this district there are important zeolitic resources. In petrographic investigations of tuffs, optical microscopy, SEM, and XRD methods were used for mineral analysis. Trachyte/ trachyandesitic tuffs contain chabazite and tephriphonolitic tuffs contain chabazite and phillipiste. According to the XRD results, chabazite occurs in the Ca-form; phillipsite is in the Na-K, K, and K,Ca-forms. Zeolite contents of tuffs (52.41-58.59 wt. %) were determined by using a heavy liquid method. |
