The aim of the work was to assess the mineral radioactive materials and the some metal elements using High Resolution Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass spectrometer (HR-ICP-MS) and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy. The LIBS was used to prove the ability to provide on-line analyses for raw ores in field conditions for uranium and elemental analysis for thorium, calcium, iron and zinc detections. A comprehensive study was conducted to determine the concentration of the elements in rock samples to explain the conditions for exploration radioactive mineralization in different selected areas in Gattar Mountain in Egypt with comparison to rock monazite sample. The HR-ICP-MS at Nuclear Research Centre (NRC), Inshas, Egypt was used to measure the isotopic uranium ... view more»
