Özet

© 2018 European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, EAGE. All rights reserved.In this study, the use of stainless steel and non-polarizable electrodes was compared in the data acquisition of induced polarization (IP) data with multi electrode-channel measurement systems. The measurements were conducted in the metallic mine site by using stainless steel, thin and fat non-polarized electrodes with Cu-CuSO4 solution. The IP values obtained from all measurements were compared with the decay curve and pseudo-sections. Moreover, comparison was made using two-dimensional subsurface models which are obtained from two-dimensional inversion of each data set. The results show that stainless steel electrodes can be used instead of non-polarized electrodes in measuring systems with high measurement accuracy and powerful transmitter.
