Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry,chemical analysis, and Mössbauer spectroscopy results show that iron in the Emirdağ samples was mainly derived from talc minerals and this iron occurs as Fe+2 in the crystal lattice structure of talc.
Because removal of iron from Emirdağ talc seems difficult during
mineral processing techniques, the Emirdağ talc can be used in its crude state in the cosmetic, paint, and paper industries as a secondary
raw material.
