The passage of this second branch of the general current creates a central zone characterised by a sediment relatively sandier than what surrounds it and controls the distribution of the different metallic elements that have for main origin the Oued Mejerda. The metallic elements here analyzed are the Fe, Zn, Ni, Co, Cu and Pb. Their concentrations vary respectively between 0,5. and 1,6%; 279 and 447 ppm; 39 and 67 ppm; 20 and 34 ppm; 9 and 20 and between 56 and 142... |
