Rapid Instrumental Neutron Activation Method for Multielement Content of Some Egyptian Phosphate Minerals

摘要

An instrumental neutron activation analysis technique has been applied to some Egyptian phosphate minerals. The following 24 elements have been quantitatively determined. Sc, Cr, Fe, Co, As, Sr, Zr, Nb, Ag, Sn, Te, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, Eu, Tb, Ho, Yb, Lu, Hf, Ta, Ir and U. The observed distribution and abundance of some of the above elements could help in the proper evaluation of conditions of deposition and origin of their phosphate minerals.
