Abstract

Sands from the coastline of Bourgas Bay, Black Sea, were studied by means of Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and gamma-spectrometry. Samples of the residue after magnetic separation contained quartz, carbonates, biotite, brookite and silicate minerals. Radionuclides, such as uranium, thorium, potassium, etc., were detected in all sand samples.
