20.500.12556/DiRROS-15262 Elemental associations in stream and alluvial sediments of the Savinja and Voglajna Rivers (Slovenia, EU) as a result of natural processes and anthropogenic activities Stream and alluvial sediments of the Savinja and Voglajna rivers were sampled, and sediment fractions <0.063 and 0.063–0.125 mm were analyzed on the content of 60 of the main and trace elements. The objective was to determine elemental associations and identify possible sources of these associations. Differences of Al/Ti oxides ratio (9.7–26) can be attributed to the variations in the source rocks, while the K/Al oxides ratio indicates erosional or depositional river regime and variation in source rocks. One anthropogenic and three natural associations of elements were identified. The anthropogenic association (Ag, In, Sb, Cu, As, Zn, Pb, Cd, Bi, Mo and Sn) is linked to historic Zn smelting in the Celje area, and the subsequent erosion of the material from inadequately managed pyrometallurgical waste deposit. The second association (Li, Sc, Al, V, Cs and Ga) is linked to clay minerals, the third one (Mg, Ca and Te) to carbonate rocks, and the fourth one (Hf, Zr) to the heavy mineral fraction. heavy metals smelting weathering erosion deposition farming waste true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Ni določen Delo ni kategorizirano 2022-07-06 13:21:56 2022-07-06 13:30:36 2022-08-21 03:36:22 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 18 str. no. 7 vol. 12 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 504.5 2075-163X 10.3390/min12070861 114075139 minerals-12-00861.pdf minerals-12-00861.pdf 1 6E717BC95EC4063F1ADC3E3C4585CBEE 21acbc707475dbfd736caccd518c149af703b229629fdded9663ba5c4633daf2 f48bb375-17b6-11ed-b6b8-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=20048 https://www.mdpi.com/article/10.3390/min12070861/s1 1 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=20049 Geološki zavod Slovenije 0 0 0
