Comprehensive mineralogical and physicochemical characterization of recent sapropels from Romanian saline lakes for potential use in pelotherapy

Abstract: In this study we aimed to compare the mineralogical, thermal, physicochemical, and biological characteristics of recent organic carbon-rich sediments (‘sapropels’) from three geographically distant Romanian lakes (Tekirghiol and Amara, SE Romania, and Ursu, Central Romania) with distinct hydrogeochemical origins, presently used for pelotherapy. The investigated lakes were classified as inland brackish Na-Cl-sulfated type (Amara), coastal moderately saline and inland hypersaline Na-Cl types (Tekirghiol and Ursu… Show more

“…The content of heavy metals is below the standard values adopted by the US EPA (EPA, 2012 ). A comparative analysis of the composition of heavy metals shows that the peloids of Western Kazakhstan have mostly similar content of manganese, zinc, copper, lead, and cadmium with sapropels from Romanian saline lakes (Baricz et al, 2021 ), as well as zinc and lead with peloids from Ulcinj coast, Montenegro (Potpara et al, 2017 ), and San Diego de los Baños Thermal Center, Cuba (Suárez Muñoz et al, 2015 ). Comparing the available data from other countries, the mud of Southern and Western Kazakhstan has a low copper content; however, it has a high cadmium content.…”

“…To determine carotenoids and chlorophylls in medicinal plant raw materials use the method of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry [24], high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) [25]. For simultaneous detection of carotenoids and chlorophylls in sapropels use the method of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (HPLC-UV-VIS) [26], as well as the method of HPLC with photodiodes with UV -detection in the visible region and atmospheric pressure (High performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array UV -Vis detection and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry) [27] and Raman spectroscopy [28].…”

“…The chemical composition of natural muds, their physical properties, as well as the therapeutic effect are studied by researchers in different countries. A comprehensive physical and chemical study of mud was described, including the determination of pH, granulometry, chemical, and mineralogical composition, organic matter in Romania (Baricz et al, 2021), in Montenegro (Potpara et al, 2017), in Turkey (Odabasi et al, 2007), in Cuba (Martínez-Villegas et al, 2020. The factors influencing the formation of the chemical composition and genesis of silt mud include the salt composition of the brine of the reservoir, soil, and organic matter of plant and animal origin.…”
