The Nubia Sandstone Nubia Group , Western Desert, Egypt An Overview

The Nubia Sandstone Nubia Group , Western Desert, Egypt An Overview

No information was given about the outcropping of the Nubia sandstone in the Great Sand Sea in the Western Desert of Egypt and actually very scarce and insufficient information has been written on the geology of the Great Sand Sea. Since 1931 the Great Sand Sea has been described as being formed of many parallel longitudinal sand dunes which cover ~72000 km² and are bounded in the south by the Gilf El Kebir Nubia Sandstone Plateau and in the north by Siwa Oasis. However, recently it has been found by the author and his collaborators that the rock units exposed on surface in the Great Sand Sea are belonging to the younger members of the fluviatile Cretaceous Nubia Sandstone Group. They are not covered by younger marine consolidated deposits but only with a thin veneer of accumulations of free sands originating from the disintegration and breakdown of the Nubia Sandstone bedrock, thus obscuring the original bedrock. The area exhibits a long history of predominantly continental sandstone accumulation and continuous subsiding during the geologic history so that the sequence attains a thickness more than 3500m in the subsurface. The exposed Nubia Sandstone rocks have been formed in different geomorphologic features such as longitudinal parallel sandstone ridges separated by wide flat sandstone tracks, sandstone plateaus and domes, sandstone depressions, plains and valleys. These results make it necessary to review the surface distribution and the lithostratigraphic change both stratigraphic and geographic of the Nubia Group in the Western Desert of Egypt.

Extraction of Valuable Elements from Ash of Fuel Shale of the Aktau and Sangruntau Deposit

Hydrometallurgical methods are aimed at leaching for the extraction of valuable components into a sulfuric acid solution, as well as selective extraction on ion exchange resins by the method of sorption and precipitation of valuable components such as vanadium oxide, molybdenum oxide, zinc oxide and the amount of REE oxide and uranium oxide. The presented methods are not implemented on an industrial scale, since there is no processing of oil shale in the Republic. A prospective scheme for processing ash from oil shale deposits has been analyzed. It includes the addition of sodium chlorine to the oxidative roasting process, the resulting ash is leached in vats with sulfuric acid 150 g l, at room temperature, S L= 1 5, duration 60 minutes. The resulting metal bearing sulfuric acid solution is filtered and sent to sorption, as well as precipitation. The extraction of metals into solution is, vanadium 84.3 85.6, molybdenum 95.4 88.1, zinc 69.6 71.1, uranium 60.3 64.9 and the amount of REE 66.2 49.2, respectively. For the extraction of metals from productive solutions of leaching ash from oil shale deposits of Aktau and Sangruntau, the following ion exchange resins of the Anglia company PUROLITE were used for vanadium grade A 109 extraction 79 81 , for molybdenum grade A 100 extraction was more than 84 86 , uranium grade A 560 extraction 81 79 and for zinc S 984 extraction 75 71 . Carried out precipitation to extract REE and received 18 content of the amount of REE.

A Pilot Study on the Consumption of Mainstream Media and it’s Negative Impact on Teenagers
Mass media is a very powerful tool to influence the minds of a teenager. Teenagers are in that stage of growing up where everything influences them. Todays Socialization is turned as a chaos through apps From Facebook to Tinder, Instagram to WhatsApp, YouTube to Ticktock everyone has been socialized. As per Psychological point view... teenagers, young generation are been exploited in the name of Socialization. People under these categories are involved Anti National, Anti Social activities and Crime based activities like Drug abduction, Rape Molestation, Kidnap Murder. The Present Study tries to focus on the x facts of this Problem and try to understand how and what kind of role is played by the media which pressurize the young generation. This Study is Literally focused on the impact of Mainstream Media which includes Social Media, Internet, Entertainment Genres like Cinema, TV Soaps, Reality Shows, YouTube Videos, Entertainment Apps etc. on Young Generation or Teenagers on Negative Side. For this purpose 100 subjects male and female were selected randomly from selected Degree Colleges Undergraduate in southern part of Bangalore City, with a pretested Self Assessment tool to measure the usage and consumption of both mainstream media and internet among students of various stream based on their demographic variables like gender, education, course stream. Findings of the study indicates that there is a significant difference in relation to male, female and respective educational streams between Arts, Science and Commerce.

Geochemical Fractionation of Lanthanides in Stream Sediments around Bwanebwa Area Pan African Fold Belt Cameroon

Fifteen stream sediment samples were collected in Bwanebwa area, situated southwestern part in the central domain of the Pan African Fold Belt in Cameroon. Samples were analyzed by Aqua Regia Inductive Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry analytical technique. The chemical analyses revealed a wide variability of lanthanide concentrations REE = 1471.56 7674.2 ppm displaying a normal distribution pattern. Lanthanides show a high enrichment in La, Ce, Pr, Nd, and the proportion enrichment of REEs is still similar with increasing atomic number. The order of the average concentrations of REEs is Ce La Nd Pr Sm Gd Dy Er Tb Ho Yb Eu Tm Lu, which was different to that found in the Oddo Harkins rule, earth’s crust, upper continental crust, South China Sea, mean REE values in oceanic crust, Redang Island Marine Sediment in Terengganu Coastal Waters, Bayan Obo ores, Edéa, suggesting that REEs set up a complex group. The LREE HREE ratio 31.57 35.24, av. = 32.82 showed that the content of LREE 1425 7449.8, av. = 3699 is significantly higher than that of HREE 46.56 224.4, av. = 112.07 . LREEs account for 97.06 of the total REEs and this percentage is in agreement with the trend that was observed in the earth’s crust and in the Bayan Obo ores. Chondrite normalized REE distribution patterns are identical, indicating the consistency of geochemical distribution of REEs in stream sediments. They are strongly fractionated, with LREEs significantly fractionated LaN YbN = 11.74 27.93, av. = 21.04 relative to HREEs GdN YbN = 7.40 16.69, av. = 13.35 , implying that HREEs are more soluble and more complex than middle or LREE and are more strongly absorbed on most substrates. Positive Ce anomaly Ce Ce = 1.04 1.07 and negative Eu anomaly Eu Eu = 0.097 0.17 were observed, indicating that di erentiation occurred between Ce, Eu and other lanthanides. Therefore the positive Ce anomaly recorded represents an enrichment of Ce compared with its neighboring elements. A five factor model of the REEs that accounts for 1.998 of the total data cumulative variance have been observed, with the communality values 0,996 1 reflecting stronger community structure. Principal component analysis results in five components that explain 100 of the total variance, with the placement of elements in three major principal components, in which elements scattering in the rotated space displaying their mutual association. The results provide evidence for similar input sources and common geochemical characteristics of REEs. Lanthanide concentrations in Bwanebwa area were of geogenic origins and not influenced by anthropogenic sources. The abundance of REEs is related to the lithology made up of granites and associated pegmatites. Cerium shows the highest average content of REEs, followed by La, Nd, Pr, Gd, Sm, hence pattern of Ce distribution shows higher than the other lanthanides. LREEs La, Ce, Pr, Nd and Ga fall above the upper background threshold limit and are considered as anomalous. Therefore the results of this work serve as guide for lanthanides exploration in Bwanebwa area.

Physico Chemical and Bacteriological Quality of Water Sources in the Coast of Ndian, South West Region, Cameroon Health Implications

The study of water sources used by the population of Ndian for drinking with the exception of the Ekondo Titi beach was carried out by investigating 51 water sources. Due to the lack of pipe borne water in this area, the population is compelled to consume water from unprotected shallow aquifers and surface water sources, there by exposing the population to infections form of water borne diseases. In this perspective, the present study was aimed to check the suitability of these water sources for drinking. The bacteriological quality of the water sources was performed using the Most Probable Number MPN technique. Temperature, pH, electrical conductivity EC and total dissolved solids TDS were also determined. The pH values reflect slightly acidic, neutral and basic water sources. Sixty percent 60 of the ground water samples where slightly acidic 5.5  6.4 and out of the WHO 2011 guideline limit 6.5 8.5 for drinking water. This situation puts the inhabitants at risk to stomach ulcer. The electrical conductivity values 3.00 274 us cm for groundwater sources represents water experiencing slight mineralization. Based on the total coliform bacteria, 96 of water sources were polluted to grossly polluted 75 2400 MPN 100 ml and 4 excellent following the acceptable maximum limits prescribed by the World Health Organization Standards which exposes the population to water borne diseases such as typhoid, cholera and dysentery. The bacteria contamination of the water sources may result from the waste of pit toilets that intersect the water tables of shallow unconfined aquifers and also from poor sanitation practices carried out along stream channels and springs. Proper water treatment at household levels is highly recommended.
