“…The distribution and morphological properties of light minerals have persuaded many geoscientists to study them with respect to depositional environment and provenance (Trevena and Nash, 1979;Carranza-Edwards et al, 1998;and Margineanu et al, 2014). The studied beach sands are a mixture of carbonate and non-carbonate materials.…”

The present work aims to characterize the mineralogy of the beach sands along the Mediterranean Coast from Benghazi to Bin Jawwad, NE Libya. The microscopic and SEM examinations indicate an abundance of carbonates, quartz, feldspars, and evaporites. The detected heavy minerals are zircon, tourmaline, pistachite, hornblende, garnet, monazite, rutile, titanite, augite, biotite, kyanite, chromian spinel, magnetite, ilmenite, and goethite. Carbonate speciation suggests a difference in sediment age; the central and eastern sides consist of younger sediment, while older, reworked, and diagenetically transformed materials dominate in the western section. Three distinct groups of sediments can be recognized according to their mineral composition. The studied beach sands are mineralogically sub-mature sediments depending on the ZTR indices.

“…Valuable heavy mineral associated with sand deposits (placer deposits) are primarily gold, casseterite, ilmenite, rutile, magnetite, monazite, kyanite, silimanite, tourmaline and garnet [1]. The origin and concentration of these minerals depends on the disintegrating rocks and landforms from which the rock particles are transported and on which they are deposited [2,3].…”

“…Black sands are usually sorted and deposited along rivers or river mouths, the heavy mineral sources sometimes being very distant from the placer locations. It is the current situation of the Nile Delta, Southern Australia, or eastern coast of India [1,4].…”

Characterization of Langkawi black sand for the recovery of titanium had been carried out in this study. In this study, the size distribution of black sand particles was determined by the sieve analysis whereas the specimen of different portion of black sand for each size of particle was identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The highest percentage in particle size was illustrated as 75.40% in 75μm. Techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD) has been used to identify and analyze the ilmenite and rutile phase in the Langkawi black sand.
