Statistical analysis on the radiological assessment and geochemical studies of granite rocks in the north of Um Taghir area, Eastern Desert, Egypt

Abstract Granite rocks are currently one of the foremost raw materials that can be used for various economic purposes such as ornamentation and building materials, because they do not possess radioactive concentrations have good physical mechanical properties. The granite north Um Taghir connected to neoproterozoic integrated Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS), which lies in Northeast Africa. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) X-ray fluorescence analysis, concurrent some statistical been carried major oxides trace elements extract much fundamental information by following certain mathematical methods. exposed rock units classified into four represented tonalite, granodiorite, monzogranite, alkali-feldspar cut different types dikes. magma tonalite granodiorite is low-to-medium K calc-alkaline affinity, while monzogranite medium-to-high metaluminous peraluminous nature. show a slightly depletion fractionated patterns from light rare earth (LREEs) heavy (HREEs) with positive negative Eu anomalies granites. criteria achieved explore significant differences radiological hazard parameters among samples. It obvious there no homogeneity samples; furthermore, Kruskal–Wallis test, Mann–Whitney Pearson correlation coefficient, it noticed between each pair samples: monzogranite; granite; granite. There strong direct relationship both granite, granodiorite. inverse As stated all results, mentioned worthy result So purposes.
