Σπάνιες γαίες στις μαύρες άμμους της περιοχής του Αγγελοχωρίου
Περίληψη
Black sands of Aggelochori area, located close to Thessaloniki, are studied. Their chemical composition and especially the REE concentration are investigated. These sands were derived from fierce rivers and their color is a result of heavy minerals. These heavy minerals contain REE in their structure. After a suitable processing, like washing, sieving, drying and magnetic separation, of 4 samples representative of these sands, they were analyzed for their mineral and chemical composition. The mineral components and percentages were estimated by XRD. The ratio percentage of the minerals helped in the selection of one of the 4 samples, (sample 3) for geochemical analysis. Sample 3 contains 40% quartz, 30% plagioclase, 9% muscovite, 7% chlorite, 5% magnetite, 2% titanite, 3% zircon, 1% pyroxene, 2% dolomite and 1% amphibole,
So, the seven fractions of sample 3, were analyzed with ICP-MS at MS Analytical laboratories, for major and trace elements. The whole sample 3, shows high SiO 2 (81,7%) content is followed by Al 2 O 3 (7,2%), while all the rest major elements have concentrations lower than 2%. Concerning the trace elements of sample 3, Ba and Sr show high concentrations with 1149 and 202 ppm respectively, while Zr shows 71 pm.The major and trace element composition of sample 3 was compared with other compositions of granitic sands from Kavala and Sithonia. From the comparison it was found that these specific samples (whole 3 and fractions) have low REE content (75 ppm in the whole sample). Based on their mineral composition, it was concluded that these sands are products of a granitic rock’s erosion. For this reason they compared
with 2 known granitic rocks existing in the broader area. These are the granite of Fanos and the granite of Monopigado. As a result of this comparison, it is very probably that these black sands come from Monopigado granite.
