The beach placer sands originate from the weathering products of adjacent plutons which are likely to contain high concentrations of these minerals. Geochemical studies on beach sediments have been used to understand the provenance, and paleoenvironment and diagenetic processes (Verma and Armstrong-Altrin, 2016).

This irregular distribution of heavy minerals in the beach sands has also been reflected in the radioactivity data of the area. A total of about 822 data points were recorded to get an idea about the radioactivity ...
Depending upon the concentration, extent, and mineral composition of these resources, economically viable deposits could be co-extracted with marine sand for beach nourishment or during other stand-alone dredging operations. ... with a review of current heavy mineral separation operations and processes that could be adapted for extracting heavy ...
In ore concentration terms, the studied area shows a generally marked enrichment of total heavy minerals in beach sand, with an exceptional increase in THM in …
Investigations on the east coast of India show that processes of beach erosion and regression, associated with annual sea-levelchanges and with storms in the Bay of Bengal, play an …
The beach sands along the coasts of India contain large reserves of strategic minerals like ilmenite, monazite, zircon, etc. Monazite mineral is primarily used as an ore for extracting rare earths particularly cerium and lanthanum. In the present study, the chemistry and distribution of monazite found in the beach sands of Neendakara–Kayamkulam belt in …

The east coast of India, extending from Vasishta Godavari river in the south to Vamsadhara river in the north was surveyed with special reference to the beach configuration and concentration of heavy …
Minerals in beach sand have yielded tons of gold, millions of carats of diamonds, numerous fine specimens of nephrite jade, huge amounts of amber and much of the world's titanium.Some beaches, however, are not known for their valuable metals and minerals, but for their unusual colors—white, black, green and even purple.
