TI  - Evaluation of heavy metal content of salts between Eskıkışla and Ocakbaşı (Kırıkkale) villages
AB  - Salt, which is the main nutrient, is a very important raw material in the life of living organisms and 
industry. Salt production and consumption have improved and increased due to technological 
developments and industrialization. Salt has been used in the world and in our country since very 
ancient times. It is used in many fields, especially in the chemical industry, metallurgy, textile, medicine, 
and agriculture. In addition to sea, lake and spring salts, Turkey has very rich rock salt reserves. The 
Neogene aged Çankırı-Çorum Basin is one of the important basins where evaporitic formations are 
observed in the Central Anatolia region. Chemical analyses were carried out to determine the amount 
of heavy metal in salt samples taken from Oligocene aged units observed in the area between Ocabaşı 
and Eskikışla springs (Delice) in the Çankırı-Çorum basin. SEM-EDX, XRF and ICP-OES devices were 
used to determine the geochemical properties and quantities of heavy elements. According to the results 
of XRF, Na % ( 33.70-38.30), Cl %(52.10 - 57.70) SO3 %(0.75-1.93), Al2O3 %(0.90-1.93), CaO %(0.58-
2.69), MgO %(0.40-1.41) Fe2O3 % (0.18-0.64), SiO2 %(1.75-4.95), SrO, % (<0.010), BaO % (<0.010), 
Cr2O3 %(<0.010), K2O %(0.008-0.25), MnO %(<0.010) results are found. In the determination of heavy 
metals made with ICP-OES, it was determined that the heavy metals (Hg, As, Pb, Cd) published in the 
Turkish food codex salt communiqué were below the limit values.
