This study aims at determining the level of pollution heavy metals (Cr, Cu and Hg) in soils illegal mining sites Atiwa East District Ghana. The concentrations Copper (Cu), Chromium (Cr), Mercury (Hg) were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). extent metal risk assessment was analyzed site. Thirty (30) soil samples collected from three (3) within district. average levels Cu, Cr,...

Abstract In geochemical data analysis, assessing the potential of new techniques to identify compositional time–space changes is great interest for monitoring purposes. This work aims evaluate, in light analysis perspective, performance different statistical indices tracing evolution a composition and relationships among its parts. To reach this goal, source-to-sink chemical water stream sedime...

NETPATH-WIN is an interactive user version of NETPATH, an inverse geochemical modeling code used to find mass-balance reaction models that are consistent with the observed chemical and isotopic composition of waters from aquatic systems. NETPATH-WIN was constructed to migrate NETPATH applications into the Microsoft WINDOWS® environment. The new version facilitates model utilization by eliminati...

Detecting deep mineralization from partial element concentrations in surface and near-surface samples requires detecting the signature of one geochemical process against a background that arises from many other geochemical processes. Since the last glaciation of the Canadian Shield, it is believed that only H+ can have diffused through substantial overburden, and hence that the only available s...

The hydrological cycle of Lake Ipê and the principal parameters that could affect its abiotic parameters and its metal (Fe, Mn, and Cd) concentrations were investigated. A detailed study of seasonal variations using Principal Components Analysis (PCA) for the most relevant metals (Fe, Mn and Cd) was performed, assisted by the MINTEQA2 geochemical equilibrium program using 15 water abiotic param...

Water is essential for the formation of granites, but its origin and role in granite generation (i.e., dehydration vs. water-fluxed melting) remain uncertain. These issues are addressed by combining water abundances other geochemical indices zircons from Late Mesozoic granites generated during destruction North China Craton (NCC). The contents NCC Early Cretaceous (763 ppm, median) much higher ...

roudgaz prospect area is a cu, sn, pb, zn, and au polymetal vein system located to the southeast of gonabad and in the northeast of lut block. oxidan subvolcanic tertiary rocks with monzonite to monzodiorite porphyry composition intruded the metamorphic rocks of middle jurassic. the majority of intrusive bodies are affected by carbonation, argillic, sericitic, and silicification-tourmaline alte...
