Abstract
A laboratory analysis was performed to determine the chemical properties of the Dead Sea mud. Samples collected from dead sea mud, Israel. Several analytical techniques were used to determine the chemical and mineralogical compositions of mud sample. Parameters such as pH, EC, OC, P, K, Mn, Zn, Fe, Cu were studied. The main focus of the work was to document mud characteristics and to study the chemical properties. The mud samples were quite rich in K 737 (%), Ph (7.4). EC 6.8 (dSm-1)was the most abundant trace element in the samples followed by S.4.8 (meq/100 gm), Ca. 2.0 (meq/100 gm), Mg. 1.6 (meq/100 gm),Zn 0.83(meq/100 gm).There were significant differences in the elemental contents of mud samples collected from dead sea mud Israel.
