Abstract

In this study, zeolites in Gördes Basin were investigated in terms of their geological, mineralogical, geochemical and environmental effects. For his purpose, rock samples were collected from the area and investigated for geochemical and mineralogical properties of zeolite minerals using XRF (such as major element oxides, minor and trace elements) and XRD (for minerals). According to chemical analysis: the ranges of major oxides and loss of ignition (LOI) values are 0.1 to 1.6% for Na2O, 0.2 to 12.4% for Mg, 1.5 to 15.5% for Al2O3, 32.2 to 73.7% for SiO2, 0.3 to 4.4% for K2O and 0.9 to 17.0% for CaO and 6.55 to 30.30% for LOI. According to XRD analysis, zeolite minerals were mainly clinoptilolite and rarely is heulandite type.  In some part of area, both of zeolite minerals, eg. clinoptilolite and heulandite were found together.  SEM-EDX analysis is carried out on some samples, and both results obtained from XRD analysis are confirmed by SEM. On the basis of geological, geochemical, and mineralogical studies, general properties of the area were brought out. In addition, Gördes Basin has been environmentally evaluated in terms of zeolitisation and zeolite mineral types. It has been concluded that there is no negative environmental risk in this regard, since there are no minerals such as erionite with fibrous structure from zeolite group minerals. However, it is thought that the silica dust risk, which is frequently encountered in zeolitisation areas during mining operations in the field, should be taken into account. The risk of heavy metal contamination caused by zeolitisation, hydrothermal alteration was also examined in the area, and the presence of a radiogenic element/heavy metal pollution risk caused by zeolitisation, hydrothermal alteration and radiogenic element was determined especially for Cr, Rb, Sr, Pb, Th and U elements.
