Goals Aim of this course is to determine identification criterias of minerals and rocks formed within earth crust and to introduce spectroscopic methods being used in determining chemical and thermodynamical conditions
Course Content Scope and method of rock chemistry, whole rock meaning and preparation for analyses as liquid methods, standards of rock samples and using for rock chemistry, analyses of silicate minerals, analysis and evaluation of whole rock (major and Trace) elements, spectroscopic (XRF, ICP, Raman,…) applications.
Learning Outcomes 1) 1. Analytical techniques used in rocks and their classification
2) Sample preperation techniques
3) Standar, method and calibration techniques
4) Laboratory safety rules and conditions
5) Determining proper alaytical technique accordint to properties of rocks and minerals
6) Difference and importance of visual and analytical determination techniques
7) XRF, mikro XRF, Raman, ICP ve FTIR spectroscopic analytical techniques
8) Literature review and importance of petrology
9) Discussion about newly published articles about spectroscopic methods
10) Imoırtance and aoolications of chemical analysis of rocks
