Dispersion of trace elements in the secondary environment of Narayanpur area, NNW part of Srisailam sub-basin, Telangana state, India

Pedogeochemical survey was carried out for understanding the trace element's distribution and dispersion in the secondary environment with reference to secondary radioactive mineralization. This study explores the use of trace element association for the possible presence of secondary radioactive mineralized deposits in unconformity zones. Twenty four samples were collected and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy. A comparative study was carried out between element associations with reference to radioactive mineralization. This indicates the distribution and dispersion pattern in the secondary environment; however geological set up in the area appears to have provided the environments in which secondary radioactive minerals were formed.
