Determination of inorganic components in the Sirnak asphaltite samples and validation by using SRM

Coals and asphaltites which are important sources of energy in industry and industrial field leave their ashes as waste after burning. These waste ashes have a serious amount of damage to the environment. At the same time, the rate of metal in these ashes is quite high. In this study, it was aimed to determine the metals and the structure that have present the metals by determining the structure of the asphaltite ashs, that taken in newly discovered mines in Şırnak region. For this purpose, asphaltite samples which are taken from 5 different mine sites named Harbul, Milli, Avgamasya, Seridahli and Karatepe in Şırnak were analyzed with Bureau Communautaire Reference (BCR), Tessier and Stover squential extraction methods in ash form. Analyzes were performed with the Perkin Elmer Optima 2100-DV model ICP-OES device. The accuracy of the analyzes was checked by using the European Commission Reference Material Incineration Ash (Sample no: 0158) and Polish Certifıed Reference Material Fine Fly Ash (CTA-FFA-1) named 2 diffent Standart Reference Material (SRM) samples with same methods. SRM samples analyzes were performed with the Agilent 7700X model ICP-MS device. As a result of these analyzes it has been found that the environmentally harmful metals are slightly dissolved in water, therefore the metal damage to the environment due to the water-solubility is found in little amount.
