Investigation of Rocks Electrochemical Activity

In the work electrochemical characteristics of various rocks including sulfide minerals of Kazakhstan deposits (Dzhezkazgansky, Leninogorsky, Uralsky and Akbakaisky) methods of own polarization, the caused polarization and a method of electrode potentials are investigated. It is shown that electric fields of the caused polarization allow to dismember cuts of wells and to reveal in them ore bodies. Cathodic polarization, characteristic for the majority of sulfides and almost absent in graphite, can be used for more exact interpretation of diagrams of potential of electrode polarization.
