The current work was carried out to characterize rock samples of mudstone, sand, and limestone collected at different depths from Northwestern Coast, Ras El-Hekma -Egypt. The samples were subjected to neutron activation analysis to determine the elemental composition and to better understand the geochemistry of the rocks. The abundance of 17 elements was determined. Bivariate and multivariate statistical analyzes were performed to investigate the origin of rocks and common geochemical characteristics (i.e., type, origin, geological history, major and trace composition, weathering, and alteration). The normalized results obtained showed that the abundances of Ca and Sr were significant compared to the corresponding values in the literature. The enrichment factor (EF) was calculated to obtain more information about the sources of the increased abundances of the metals. The results obtained can provide baseline data for the surveyed region and can be utilized by the government, policymakers, and interested parties for future research and development endeavors and planning.

“…Therefore, it is a good indicator that the samples have significant portions of Al. Similarly, Sc‐La‐Th discriminatory diagram shows three well‐differentiated groups of ceramics in the vicinity of UCC (Rudnick & Gao, 2014), and it suggests a considerable association of clay, silt, and sand contents of the ceramics (Badawy et al, 2020; Schandl & Gorton, 2002) as clearly shown in Figure 2b.…”

For the first time in Russia, instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and related analytical techniques were used to determine the distribution patterns of elemental composition in archeological pottery in terms of classification and provenance of medieval pottery. A total of 48 fragments have been discovered in three locations; Bolgar, the Moscow Kremlin (MosKremlin), and Selitrennoe settlement (Selitrennoe). The assemblages were subjected to INAA in order to determine the concentrations of 37 elements in mg/kg. The data were analyzed using geochemical, bivariate, and multivariate statistical techniques. To classify the fragments according to their origin hierarchical clustering (HCA), linear discriminant (LDA), and principal component analyses (PCA) were used. Based on the INAA results, the first attempt was made to apply machine learning methods to the study of artifacts in Russia. The results show that they are reliable and powerful in extracting information about critical elements for identifying ceramic fragments and using them as chemical fingerprints. Chromium was the most useful element and was used in conjunction with other elements as a fingerprint to distinguish sherds. Chemical and statistical analyses help to establish of reference groups for medieval archeological pottery, which will be used in the future to classify and identify various unknown sherds. These reference groups serve as baseline data for determining

“…The source of DOC leaching can originate from asphalt released by rainfall wash and runoff, which results in potentially environment influence by transferring hazardous matters into aqueous and soil system [56]. However, the concentrations of metals may differ with depth, according to recent geochemical studies on elements behaviour [57]. In our experiments, leaching of DOC demonstrated variations in best and worst cases thus controlled by the binder/water ratio.…”

Leaching behaviour is an important evidence of soil quality. The assessment of leaching of heavy metals from the contaminated soil is vital for environmental applications. However, leaching may differ in soil stabilised by various ratios of binders. In this study we measured leaching behaviour of soil contaminated by As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, V, Zn, methyl Hg, aliphatic compounds of hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). To evaluate leaching of these substances we tested the effects of changed amount of binder (120 kg and 150 kg) and binder ratios (70/30 %, 50/50 % and 30/70 %) added to soil samples. Soil was dredged from several stations in Ostrand area, SCA Sundsvall Ortvikens Pappersbruk. The results demonstrated a systematically decreasing leaching with the increased slag. The contribution of this research include: (i) devising systematic approach to extract information on leaching from stabilised soil collected from the coastal area of Bothnian Bay, (ii) developing a workflow for stabilising soils by various combination of Portland cement Basement CEM II/A-V (SS EN 197-1) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), Bremen type (SS EN 15167-1), (iii) determining water ratio and density for the untreated and stabilised soil and performing comparative analysis, (iv) evaluating chemical content of pollutants and toxic elements in the aggregated soil samples. Treatment of the contaminated soil by binders improved its parameters by the increased strength and decreased leaching of heavy metals and toxic elements.
