INTRODUCTION
The Egyptian black sands placer deposits on the Mediterranean
Coastal Plain contain many mineral species as they have been derived
from igneous and metamorphic rocks (Higazy and Naguib (1950).
Many studies were carried out dealing with the mineralogical
composition, grain size distribution, origin of the sediments as well as
their economic considerations. Black sand constituents include six heavy
economic minerals; namely magnetite, ilmenite, monazite, zircon, rutile
and garnet. Monazite, zircon and rutile minerals contain number of
elements necessary for the nuclear industry e.g. uranium, thorium,
zirconium, hafnium, titanium and rare earths elements. Thus, the
evaluation of these raw materials in the Egyptian black sands placer
deposits would be calculated on the basis of the reserves of monazite,
zircon and rutile mineral content in localities along the Mediterranean
Coastal Plain; namely Rosetta, Baltim, Damietta and north Sinai.
(Dabbour et al., ( 1990)
Late Miocene and before the completion of the High Dam in May
1964, the River Nile was discharging huge quantities of sediments
during the annual flood seasons in the Mediterranean Sea. These
sediments were the final products of the disintegrated materials from the
two main drainage areas of the Nile Basin which cover an area of about
3,000,000 km2 i.e. The Equatorial Plateau (igneous rocks) and the
Ethiopian Plateau (Said,(1981 ).
Missak, and Attia, (1981). Chosen four localities for geological
reserve evaluation for monazite, zircon and rutile are considered to be the
principal black sands deposits. The first locality is on both sides of
Rosetta promontory. It extends from Idku Lake outlet to El Burrullus
Lake openning. This stretch is about 70 km long and its width varies
from about 200 m to about 5000 m with an average width of about 800
m. The area is characterized mainly by beach deposits except west
Rosetta outpouring sector which has coastal plain sand dunes. The depth
of the black sands in this area reaches about 9 m. Beyond this depth, the
sand fraction decreases to be less than 40% while the clay fraction
constitutes the 193 major percentage. Above the mentioned depth, the
sand fraction generally exceeds 60% of the sediments.
The second locality is the coastal plain sand dune belt in which the
heavy minerals content reaches up to about 35% and covers the area from
Burg El Burrullus village eastward to El Gharbia Main Drainage, a
stretch of about 15 km long and average width of about 800m. The height
175 Egypt. J. of Appl. Sci., 36 (5-6) 2021
of the sand dunes in this area reaches up to 15m, however, an average
height of 5 m will be considered. Assuming that the beach sediments
under the sand dunes reach about 10m depth, the thickness of the deposit
in this area will be considered as 1 5 m.
The third locality is the north western part of El Manzalla Lake and
the beach area just east of Damietta outpouring. The depth of this deposit
will be 10 m and the area is about 30 km2. This area is characterized by a
series of parallel sand bars called "Barr" trending generally northwest
and are separated by longitudinal lagoons called "Tawal". The
mechanism of formation of these parallel sand bars was attributed to the
result of the accretion of the bottom sediments of the continental shelf by
the wave action and the continuous accumulation of these sands till the
sand bar became exposed on the surface of the sea water leaving a
longitudinal lagoon behind it.
The last locality is the north Sinai coastal plain sector which
extends between the eastern openning of El Bardawiel Lake at El Zaraniq
in the west and El Arish town in the east. This stretch is about 20 km in
length and about 500 m width It is characterized by beach deposits lined
from the south by north Sinai sand dune belt .. The depth of the deposit in
this area is about 10 m. (Missak, and Attia,(1981).
Monazite Mineral:
The mineral monazite is the world supply source for both rare
earth elements and thorium. Chemically the mineral is an orthophosphate
of rare earth elements and thorium; (REE, Th)PO4. The rare earth oxides
represent 60% of the mineral and consists mainly from the elements
which have low atomic numbers (e.g Lanthanum ”La”, Cerium ”Ce”,
Praseodymium ”Pr”, Neodymium ”Nd”) and known as light rare earths
group. The predominant component of the rare earths in monazite is
cerium, which often constitutes up to 45% of the total rare earths content,
so the rare earths known as “cerium group” (Ellis 1994). The rare earth
distribution in monazite was variable depending upon their location, i.e.
the rare earth elements from different locations had not exactly the same
distribution (Table 1).

Thorium “Th” together with the heavy rare earth element “yttrium Y”
are usually present substituting for cerium, etc, so, thorium amount
ranges from 4% up to 12% ThO2 are usually reported. Monazites are also
reported to be contain uranium which ranges from trace amounts up to
values as high as 1.0% U3O8
(Gupta and Krishnamurthy 2005).
Monazite Occurrence and Distribution:
Egyptian monazite was found in beach sands and sand dunes along
the Nile Delta recent shore line in a zone extending from Rafah to Abo
Qir, East of Alexandria. It was found also in sand bars isolating the
lagoon lakes of El-Bardawil, El-Manzalah, El-Burullus and Edku from
the Mediterranean Sea (Mostafa 2009). However, these black sand
deposits have actually been carried by the River Nile and laid down in
the Mediterranean Sea and later transported to its shores by water
currents, winds, waves or others. The chemical composition of the
Egyptian and the different monazite sands was shown in table (2).

PHYSICAL PROCESSING OF BLACK SANDS:
Monazite sand concentrate was obtained as a by product during the
successive separation and concentration of the different economic
minerals through physical processing techniques for black sands. These
separation procedures utilize a combination of the following well
established industrial techniques (Gupta and Krishnamurthy 1992):
1- Gravity separation using shaking tables ( utilizing differences in
specific gravity , shapes and grain size in fig.2.

were determined titrimetrically while SO4
-- was determined
gravimetrically by precipitation as barium sulfate.Soluble Ca++ and
Mg+ were determined titrimetrically using the versenate solution
while Na+ and K+ were determined by flame Photometry, as
described by Black (1983).
 Cation exchange capacity (CEC) and exchangeable cations were
determined following the methods described by Jackson (1973).
 Total trace metals contents in the soil samples (Zn, Cu, Ni, Co, Cr
and Cd) were determined by the Ionic Coupled Plasma (ICP), after
digestion of the samples with a ternary acids mixture of HNO3,
H2SO4 and HClO4, as recommended by Hesse (1971).
 Chemically – extractable amounts of the same elements were
extracted from soils by Diethelene triamine pentaacetic acid
(DTPA) and determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma, (ICP).
Lindsay and Norvell (1978).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
1- Characterization of the studied soils;
Studied of the soil texture were indicated from Tables (3 and 4)
which the result reveal that the soil samples is sand varied form very
coarse sand to fine sand (VCS to FS) .Soil reaction in this studied soil is
alkaline as indicated by pH values which ranged from 8.09 to 8.74
.Calcium carbonate content ranes from 0.33 to 1.10 % .The organic
matter ranged form 3.01 to 4.04 % .CEC for the studied soils ranges from
1.18 to 2.74 mmol /100 g. Soil salinity is very high varied from 2.27 to
22.29 dS/m this due to the proximity of the profiler to the seashore. The
cations and inions of the studied soil are generally take this order Cl - >
Na + > K + > SO4 -- .Ca ++ >Mg++ .HCO3 - > CO3 –
Thus to use this regions of black sands in agriculture, it must be
treated to eliminate this salinity.

د ا رسة بعض العناصر الکيميائية فى الرمال السوداء وعلاقتها بمتغي ا رت التربة
عمى ساحل بحيرة البرلس – مصر
عبدالسلام محمد عبدالسلام عموة
قسم کيمياء وطبيعة الأ ا رضى – شعبة مصادر المياه والأ ا رضى الصح ا روية-
مرکز بح وث الصح ا رء – المطرية - القاهرة.
تم اختيار ثلاث قطاعات من الرمال السوداء قطاعين من ساحل بحيرة البرلس وقطاع من ساحل
رشيد واظهرت نتائج التحاليل الأتى : -
- -1 قوام التربة رممى وان التربة قموية التفاعل ونسبة کربونات الکالسيوم تت ا روح مابين 5.00
1.51 % ومموحة التربة تت ا روح مابين -1.. %1.15 ونسبة المادة العضوية تت ا روح ما بين 1
.dsm-1 ....2 – ....
.- وکان ترکيز الکاتيونات والانيونات الذائبة کالاتى :
Cl - > Na+ > K+ >SO4
-- > Ca++> Mg++ > HCO3
- > CO3 --
-3 وان الترکيز الکمى والمستخمص لمعناصر الصغرى لمتربة فى مستوى الحدود المسموح بها او
اقل .
-1 واتضح أيضا أن الرمال السوداء تحتوى عمى معادن ذات اهمية اقتصادية کبيرة وتحتوى
عمى عناصر مشعة مثل ا ليو ا رنيوم وهذا يجعل من الصعب إستخدامها فى الز ا رعة الا بعد
التخمص من العناصر المشعة وهذه عممية مکمفة تکمفة عالية اکثر مما سيعود منها عند
ز ا رعتها.
0 – لذا يقتصر التعامل مع الرمال السوداء عمى انها مصدر من مصادر الدخل القومى وذلک
بفصل مافيها من معادن ثمينة واستخدامها فى الأغ ا رض الصناعية الهامة.
