Geochemical features of granitic rocks using x-ray spectral fluorescence in the Miass region, Southern Ural

Abstract

The goals of the research are the geochemistry and identification of granite rocks. The granitic rocks are part of the Syrostan massive, which is located in Southern Ural. Understanding the magma process and probable mineralization deposition can be gained by classifying granite and determining geochemical characteristics. X-ray spectral fluorescence analysis was used to collect samples from outcrops for geochemical analysis. The results indicate that the rocks belong to the high-K calc-alkaline to calc-alkaline series. The granites are metaluminous to slightly peraluminous and are classified as I-type granites, with A/CNK values ranging from 0.73 to 1.01. The majority of the rock samples are trondhjemite to slightly tonalite in composition. The most observable samples in the normative Na2O-k2O-CaO scheme have defined a continuous range, varying from tonalite/trondhjemite to granodiorite. The findings provide valuable information about the petrogenesis of the rocks and their composition.
