Elemental Composition of Southeastern Anatolia Asphaltites (Turkey) as a Function of Particle Size

Abstract: Elemental composition of asphaltites from Southeastern Anatolia was determined after grinding the samples and separating particles obtained into fractions by sieving. The total content of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur was highest in Halbur asphaltite where they were present over a wide size range (from 125 to 600 µm). The content of nitrogen, the least element in asphaltites, did not depend on grain size, whereas the carbon and sulfur concentrations increased with increasing size.

“…Eventhough asphaltites have the physical appearance of coal, they are derived from crude oil which migrated to inorganic formations. By the effect of catalytic activity of inorganic matrix, metamorphosis has taken place to produce condensed heavier hydrocarbon structures due to various chemical, physical, and biological changes [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…The world reserves of petroleum and natural gas are finite, although the years of oil and gas depletion project well into the future. There is much research into alternative sources of liquid and solid hydrocarbons [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Asphaltites are known as solid fossil fuels.…”

“…Some of the resources are asphaltic pyrobitumens, some others are close to them by characteristics, but their metamorphism has not reached the stage of asphaltic pyrobitumens [1]. The total reserve of asphaltic substances which are found in southeastern Turkey is approximately 8⋅10 7 tonnes, with Silopi and Şırnak reserves together comprising the major part of the asphaltite deposits [2,3].…”
