Investigating Geochemical Patterns of Major and Trace El-ements in Granitic Rocks of the Oulmes Region, Central Morocco: Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA)

Abstract

In this study, we used the instrumental neutron activation analysis technique (INAA) for analysis of granite samples from four locations in Oulmes region of central Morocco. In order to investigate the geochemical behavior of both major and trace elements in granite rocks from study area. The four samples almost accurately reflect the geochemical variety and heterogeneity of the formations were taken from distinct outcrops. The aim of study was to characterize the mineralization patterns of granitic rocks, their sources and basic composition. The results highlight the importance of nuclear techniques in geochemical investigations and provide some insights into the geochemical processes that shaped these rocks.
