Name of subject: Methods of Investigation of Sedimentary Rocks |
Instructors:
Prof. Vesna Matović |

Status: Optional |
|
ECTS: 5 |
|
Prerequisites: Does not have |
Course Objectives:
Through this specialist course, students are trained for the application of laboratory methods for precisely defining the mineral and chemical composition as well as the structural characteristics of sediments and sedimentary rocks. |
Learning Outcomes:
Educational contribution is reflected in the fact that the acquired knowledge can be applied in practice in economic, research, and others institutions where this is required. |
Content:
Theory teaching
Lectures relate to the theoretical basis of laboratory methods that used in the study of sedimentary rocks. Practical teaching
Exercises relate to the mechanical, chemical and instrumental methods. Sieve analysis of gravel and sand. Heavy minerals in deposits and methods of their separation (separation by heavy liquids and electromagnet). Composition of gravel. A quick method of determining the chemical composition of carbonate rocks. Coloring of carbonates. Preparation of thin section for petrographical analyses. Within instrumental methods, students get acquainted with X-ray powder diffraction, SEM-EDS, IR spectroscopy and DTA/TG analysis. |
