Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePetrography and Geochemistry of Orin-Ekiti Basement Rocks, Southwestern Nigeria: Implications on BauxitizationAbel Ojo Talabi, Akin Ojo Oyinloye, Olusola Amos Olaolorun et al.The petrography and geochemistry of Orin-Ekiti Basement rocks were evaluated to determine their mineralogical and chemical composition, assessed their petrogenesis and susceptibility to the formation of bauxitic clay. Ten representative rock samples were selected for thin section petrography and bulk rock geochemical analysis using Petrographic microscope and XRF, Rh Tube, 3k Watt respectively. Field observations revealed charnockites as the dominant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 1 Jan 2018 · 8,769 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Geothermal Energy Potential of Ruwan Zafi, Adamawa State and Environs, Northeastern Nigeria, using High Resolution Airborne Magnetic DataIbe Stephen Onyejiuwaka, Uche Kelvin IdumaThe aeromagnetic dataset over Ruwan Zafi, Adamawa State and environs, Northeastern Nigeria, was interpreted in this study, in order to map out places with the potentials for application of geothermal energy for electricity generation and geothermal direct heating. The analysis of the spectral of the magnetic dataset delineated the range of the sediment thickness as 4273.58 and 8693.32 m and … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 4 Dec 2020 · 12,357 accessesView PDF Cite
