Investigation of hydrocarbon generation potential and the relationship between uranium and organic carbon content in Gurpi Formation, Siah-Kuh of Dehluran and Kuh-e-Gurpi sections –Zagros

The aim of this study is to evaluate the spatial distribution and relationships between the physicochemical attributes and radiometry of soils with high sand contents. One hundred surface horizon samples were collected for physicochemical and spectral analyses of the soil. The samples were selected spatially by the conditioned Latin hypercube method. The physicochemical analyses consisted of granulometry, organic carbon content, and iron oxides content, extracted using sodium dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate (DCB). The spectral response of the soils was analyzed in the 400 to 1000 nm range. The spectral curves were obtained from the samples of the surface horizons, which were categorized according to the attribute in question. The relationship between the soil physicochemical attributes and soil radiometry was evaluated through a Pearson's correlation. There was a tendency for the organic carbon content to decrease with an increase in soil depth, associated with the presence of soils with higher sand contents. For soils with iron contents lower than 80 g kg-1, there was an increase in the reflectance along the spectrum, whereas for soils with contents between 80 and 160 g kg-1, the reflectance decreased after 600 nm, with greater variation along the spectrum for soils with iron contents higher than 120 g kg-1. The diffuse reflectance spectroscopy could potentially allow for granulometric distinction between the soils evaluated.

The Relationship

The correlation of chemical parameters and soil mineralogy one to another in Andisols were interesting to be studied, to increase the understanding of soil reactions, nutrient availability and soil mineral content. Andisols from three locations and derived from three different volcanic eruptions namely G. Tangkuban Parahu, G. Patuha and G. Tilu, with andesite, andesite-basalt and basalt parent materials respectively, were examined the correlation of several soil parameters. The values of pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, C/N and allophane content were obtained from the soil analysis of every horizon of the soil profiles at each site. Correlation analyses were used to see the relationship of the parameters. The results showed a negative correlation between pH and organic carbon (r = -590 *). The soil pH values were positively correlated with the amount of allophane (r = 0.687 *). The pH values were correlated positively with imogolite content (r = 0.356 *). The pH values were negatively correlated with organic carbon (r = -0.590 *). The organic carbon content was negatively correlated with depth (r = - 0.582 *). The organic carbon content was negatively correlated with allophane (r = 0.707 *). Total nitrogen values were negatively correlated with increasing depth (r = -0.531 *).Keywords: Mt.
