        1 - Magmatic evolution of the Nasrand granitic in Petrology, intrusion and associated dikes
        زهرا  Hamzehie فاطمه  Sarjoughian جمشید Ahmadian علی  کنعانیان
        The Nasrand granitoid intrusion, which is located at southeast of Ardestan, consists of granite and granodiorite that intruded Eocene volcanic rocks and cut by NW-trending doleritic dikes. The granitic rocks display granular, pertitic, granophyric and poikilitic texture More
        The Nasrand granitoid intrusion, which is located at southeast of Ardestan, consists of granite and granodiorite that intruded Eocene volcanic rocks and cut by NW-trending doleritic dikes. The granitic rocks display granular, pertitic, granophyric and poikilitic textures. Plagioclase crystals in these rocks composed of two distinct generation (large phenocrysts along with inclusions of lath-shaped crystals) and often exhibit zoning patterns and sieve textures. The conspicuous disequilibrium textures in the granitoid rocks may suggest that magma mixing beside fractional crystallization play a significant role in the formation of the plutonic rocks. In confirmation of petrographic data, crystal size distribution (CSD) technique was also used to determine crystallization conditions and magmatic processes that lead to the formation of the rocks. Increasing of feldspar crystal size in a semi-logarithmic plot of population density versus size represents fractional crystallization, whereas disruption and curvature of cumulative density of plagioclase and orthoclase on the semi-logarithmic diagram, indicating the arrival of new magma into the magma reservoir and confirm the importance of magma mixing. Additional chemical features such as variation trends of Rb versus Rb/Sr and Nb versus Nb/Y in the samples can be regarded as an indicator of magma mixing processes. Manuscript profile

        Dehe Bala granodioritic pluton with an E-W trend is exposed approximately 45 km south-west of Boein Zahra town, Qazvin province. This pluton includes several mafic microgranular enclaves (MMES) with diorite and quartz monzodiorite in composition. The ellipsoidal and rounded enclaves with 2 to 30 cm in sizes have been scattered in host granodiorites. The enclaves commonly have a sharp contact with the host granodiorites. Textural evidence indicative of disequilibrium condition, include plagioclase with oscillatory zoning and repeated resorption surfaces, acicular apatite and quartz ocelli as chemical and/or thermal changes in the melt during crystal growth and as evidence for occurrence of magma mixing. The enclaves enriched in LILES and LREES and are depleted in HFSES. The SiO2 content of the granodiorite ranges from 64.2 to 66.9 wt%. They are high-k calc-alkaline in composition, displaying a metaluminous character (A/CNK<1.1). Enrichment of incompatible elements such as La, Ce, Rb, Th, K and Nd coupled with negative anomalies of Ti, Ba, Eu, Nb and P implying the role of the lower crust in the formation of the granodioritic magma, but relatively high content of Mg value (0.39 – 0.43) suggest that the granodiorites were generated by mixing of mantle-derived mafic magma with felsic melt derived by partial melting of lower crust. The MMEs are characterized by relatively low contents of SiO2 = 52.8–58.2 wt%, moderate K2O=1.4-3.8 and high Mg (0.4 -0.46). Geochemical features and values of Dy/Yb=1.6 – 1.8 in MMES suggest that enclave magmas were derived by partial melting of the mantle wedge in the spinel–garnet transition zone and they have partially evolved in contact with fusion of crust-derived felsic magmas.

        The plutonic bodies occurring in Sursat complex are some parts of plutonic rocks of Sanandaj- Sirjan Zone. Based on the field observations and microscopic studies, rocks of the study area are consist of hornblende gabbro, quartz diorite, monzodiorite, granodiorite and tonalite. The EPMA analyses of minerals such as amphiboles (in granodiorite and monzodiorite), plagioclases and alkali feldspars indicate that amphiboles are magnesiohornblende, plagioclases are albite and oligoclase and alkali feldspares are orthoclase. Geochemical studies indicate that monzodiorite unit (Turke Dare and Khangholi bodies) are metaluminous I-type and calc-alkaline in nature. They are plotted in volcanic arc granite (VAG) region with 87Sr/86Sr and εNd values equal to 0.70448 and -0.12. All evidence represent that the monzodiorite were generated from a magma which was derived from mantle affected by assimilation and contamination processes. Granodiorite unit (Pichaghci, Hamzeh Ghasem and Northeast Khangholi bodies) represents I-type, metaluminous to peraluminous and calc-alkaline characteristics and is plotted in VGA field of magmatic arc. The 87Sr/86Sr and εNd values are equal to 0.70529 and -2.82 respectively. So these granodiorites were generated through mixing processes of a mantle magma with crustal sources. Tonalite–trondhjemites group are I-type, tholeiitic, peraluminous according to the low value of Mg# (2.9-11.6), Cr (20-46 ppm) and Ni (1-2.4 ppm) contents. They are also low in LA/Yb, Sr/Y, and Nb/Ta. The slight negative anomaly in fractionated patterns of the rare earth elements (REE) and very low depletion in Eu, indicate that these rocks were resulted from amphibolitic crustal source that were previousely generated from thickened mafic crust or from basaltic plate in low pressures at shallow depth in the presence of abundant plagioclase.

        5 - Determining the source of mineralizing fluid in Gol-e-Zard Zn-Pb deposit, Aligudarz using geochemical and fluid inclusion studies
        Ali Reza Zarasvandi Mona Sameti Zahra Fereydouni Mohsen Rezaei Hashem Bagheri

        The Gol-e-Zard Zn-Pb deposit is located in northeastern of the Aligudarz region (Lorestan province). This deposit is exposed in phyllite and meta-sandstones of upper Triassic-Jurassic of the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone. The mineralization includes sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite, which are mainly along quartz veins. Two mineralized horizons are phyllite with high mineralization and meta-sandstone with low mineralization. The mineralogical studies show that galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite are metallic ores and quartz is also the most abundant gang mineral in the studied deposit. The evidence indicate that the mineralization of the Gol-e-Zard deposit is syngeneic and epigenetic. The most significant structural pattern is the stratabound mineralization in the region. The aim of this study is to determine the type and characteristics the mineralizing fluid in the discriminating of mineralized horizons, besides the determining of source of the fluid in the Gol-e-Zard deposit. LREE enrichments (La/Lu average 4.8) and positive Eu anomalies (average 1.2) indicate the anoxic condition and hydrothermal fluids. Fluid inclusion data shows homogenization temperatures of 139-199.5°C, salinity 5.21-30.38 wt%equ.NaCl and density 0.9-1.1 gr/cm3 in this deposit. Investigation of evolution path of the fluids shows isothermal mixing of fluids during mineralization that comprises the mixing of magmatic water with sea water and also meteoric water. Thus, the mineralization can be summarized as: expulsion of the hydrothermal fluids from the depth, entering into sea water and reducing the temperature of hydrothermal fluids due to mixing with sea water, ascending to the sea level, moving through sediments and circulating in void spaces of and then the leaching of metals from sediments and deposited along the void space and quartz veins.

        Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the daily life of humans on the planet by entering different fields. This tool has opened a new window on the activists in the field of polymer science and engineering, like other sciences, and it can be widely used in the manufacture of polymers and their derivatives, mixing processes, forming polymers, composites, and designing and manufacturing the related equipment. Artificial intelligence algorithms can enable the analysis of a large and unlimited amount of data obtained from sensors and process monitoring systems. These patterns and methods have provided the ability to process cases that are difficult or impossible to detect manually and are used in modeling and simulation, process control, error detection and recommender systems, and can be used to achieve optimal mixing by considering the properties of the mixture components and technical specifications, can be provided recommendations for the desired product. Artificial intelligence can control the process factors to ensure consistency and uniform dispersion of additives, fillers, and colors, resulting in higher quality mixing and products with optimized properties. It can also help reduce the cycle time without compromising product quality, which can lead to significant cost savings and the greater productivity, and can enable preventative maintenance. In this study, the application of artificial intelligence in some polymer processes was investigated, specifically in the rubber compounding, the composite preparation and the extrusion, which promises a new direction in the polymer processes.
