Behaviour of Rare Earth Elements in the resent Sediments of Water Plants tanks and of Domestic Water in Mosul City

Authors
Abstract
The present study includes distribution of rare earth elements in the resent sediments of the water plants and in domestic water tanks in some areas in Mosul city. The results reveal that the is enrichment with light rare earth elements(LREE) in these deposits and some kinds of their depletion with the heavy rare earth elements (HREE) . There is also resemblance of the REE patterns of the studied sediments with the pattern of the Post Archean Australian Shales , PAAS), but they don't fit.
