Geochemistry of saline minerals separated from Lake Qarun brine

Lake Qarun is an inland saline lake of the type Na(Mg)Cl(SO 4). The SO 4 Cl weight ratio exceeds 0.6. The sequence of salt deposition, upon mechanical evaporation at 70°C, starts with basanite and halite, passes with magnesium sulphate minerals and ends with sylvite and carnallite. High concentra...

Zusammenfassung:Lake Qarun is an inland saline lake of the type Na(Mg)Cl(SO 4). The SO 4 Cl weight ratio exceeds 0.6. The sequence of salt deposition, upon mechanical evaporation at 70°C, starts with basanite and halite, passes with magnesium sulphate minerals and ends with sylvite and carnallite. High concentrations of Sr in the gypsiferous fraction and B in the end-residue are recorded.
