  Enrichment factor (EF) of REEs in soil fractions of different grain sizes: Malatya–Kuluncak, Başören Village

  Kirat, Güllü; Erdem, Özlem

  This study investigated the enrichment factor (EF) and geochemical relationships of rare earth elements (REEs) in different grain size fractions of soils collected from Başören village, Kuluncak district, Malatya province, Türkiye. A total of 22 surface soil samples were collected and separated into five grain size fractions (< 75, 75–150, 150–180, 180–250, and > 250 μm), yielding 110 samples. Concentrations of La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Yb, Lu, and Y were determined by ICP-MS. EF values ​​were calculated using Al as the reference element, and Pearson correlation was applied to evaluate the relationships between REEs. Strong positive correlations were observed among most REEs (r = 0.999–1.000, p < 0.01), whereas weaker correlations were shown between Eu and Gd elements and La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Tb, Dy, Ho, Yb, Lu, and Y elements. Moderately positive relationships were determined between Al and REEs, with coefficients of determination (R2) ranging from approximately 0.33 to 0.54, indicating that REE distributions are primarily controlled by aluminosilicate minerals and fine-grained fractions. EF values ​​varied between sampling areas and grain size fractions. While negligible to moderate enrichment was observed in most samples, significant to very high enrichment was observed in some samples, particularly for Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, and Yb. Samples T16 and T20 showed the highest enrichment levels, with Gd reaching very high enrichment classes (EF = 20–40). The results show that the spatial distribution and enrichment patterns of rare earth elements are largely influenced by lithogenic sources and grain size-dependent mineralogical characteristics.

  Correlations between some operation parameters and efficiency evaluation of domestic wastewater treatment plant in Tunceli (Turkey)

  Tanyol, Mehtap; Demir, Veysel

  The purposes of this work are to monitor certain operating parameters in influent and effluent of domestic wastewater treatment plant in Tunceli, Turkey, to determine the relationships among these parameters, and also to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment plant. The mean values of the parameters measured in the samples taken from the plant influent like pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids, suspended solids, the total solids, volatile suspended solid, biological oxygen demand, and chemical oxygen demand, are 7.60 +/- 0.07, 11.66 +/- 0.74 degrees C, 1,070.75 +/- 10.67 mu s/cm, 3.78 +/- 0.32 mg/L, 524.42 +/- 5.28 mg/L, 390.58 +/- 40.22 mg/L, 857.50 +/- 61.30 mg/L, 496.17 +/- 82.30 mg/L, 195.33 +/- 8.11 mg/L, and 653.67 +/- 42.12 mg/L, respectively. The values of these parameters after the treatment are 7.68 +/- 0.08, 10.61 +/- 0.70 degrees C, 1,041.25 +/- 15.31 mu s/cm, 8.38 +/- 0.10 mg/L, 510.17 +/- 7.49 mg/L, 49.17 +/- 8.88 mg/L, 443.08 +/- 38.95 mg/L, 152.33 +/- 27.95 mg/L, 13.67 +/- 2.33 mg/L, and 44.66 +/- 12.72 mg/L, respectively. Correlation analyses conducted to explain the potential relationship between the analyzed parameters demonstrated that there were both negative and positive correlations between the influent and effluent operational parameters. Results supported the fact that there were significant improvements in wastewater quality after treatment.
