Özet

Barite deposits, the main components of which are Ba2+ and SO2− 4 , are formed in different geological environments. Pearson correlation analysis, one of the multivariate statistical analyses, was applied to the chemical data to reveal the geological formation conditions of the barite deposits in Alanya (Antalya). In this context, X-Rays Fluorescence Spectrometer (XRF) analysis was applied to the samples collected from the study area. The results obtained constitute the major and trace elemental contents of the Alanya barite deposit. Pearson correlation analysis of chemical data revealed positive and negative correlations between the major and trace elements of Alanya barites. According to the interpretations made on the results of the correlation analysis, the barite enrichment in the region was found to increase with the rock-forming components.
