The collection of denarii from the time of development of a Polish medieval state was studied using the proton induced X-ray emission spectroscopy. The major elements detected for these denarii are Ag and Cu, while minor elements such as Pb, Fe, Au, Bi, and Zn may also be present. The aim of the study was to cross-compare the results with a previous micro-X-ray fluorescence data and to perform ...

in the present investigation flocculation of dissolved cu, zn, pb, ni and mn in a series of mixtures with salinities ranging from 1.5 to 9.5% during mixing of talar river water with the caspian sea water was studied. the flocculation trend of zn (87.22%) >mn (45.31%) >pb (39.09%) >cu (36.58%)>ni (12.70%) indicates that cu, zn, pb and mn have non-conservative behavior and ni has relatively conse...

Background & Aims of the Study: Regarding to development of industry, soil contamination has become a serious problem in many countries, such as Iran. The aim of the present work was the illustration of the accumulation of potentially harmful trace elements and the potential risk which is posed to human health in surface soils of three industrial estates of Aran-o-Bidgol city, Isfah...

Stream sediments from the mining and smelting district of Príbram, Czech Republic, were studied to determine the degree, sources and dispersal of metal contamination using a combination of bulk metal and mineralogical determinations, sequential extractions and Pb isotopic analyses. The highest metal concentrations were found 3-4 km downstream from the main polymetallic mining site (9800 mg Pb k...

This paper focuses on researching the scientific problem of deep extraction and inference favorable geological geochemical information about mineralization at depth, based which a mineral resources prediction model is established machine learning approaches are used to carry out quantitative prediction. The main contents include: (i) discussing method 3D anomaly under multi-fractal content-volu...

The accumulation and transfer of Pb, Zn, Cu, and Cd along a soil-plant-insect-chicken food chain at contaminated sites were investigated. The study site nearing the Pb/Zn mine had been contaminated by heavy metals severely. Cadmium and Pb concentrations steadily declined with increasing trophic level (p < 0.01), but concentrations of Zn and Cu slightly increased from plant to insect larva (p > ...

This paper describes a newly discovered Bi-Cu±Au mineralization co-occurring with Pb-Zn-Ag hydrothermal within the Kizhnica-Hajvalia-Badovc ore field, central Kosovo, Vardar Zone. The mineralogy of two styles was described using EPMA in combination reflected and transmitted light microscopy. Hydrothermal Cu-Bi veinlets Kizhnica andesite quarry consist Bi sulfosalts (bismuthinite, cosalite, aiki...

 Concentration of heavy and toxic metals Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb and Hg were determined in liver and muscles of Rutilus frisii kutum and their relationships with growth parameters (length, age, condition factor) and hepatosomatic index were examined. Thirty-six fish samples were collected from February through March 2009 caught by beach seine in the southwest parts of the Caspian Sea. Atomic ab...
