The study aims to comprehensively characterize the physicochemical properties and therapeutic potential of Techirghiol sapropelic mud.
Analyzed mud samples using standardized physicochemical techniques.
Determined parameters including pH, water content, granulometry, and mineral composition.
Evaluated organic fraction and trace elements present in the mud.
Techirghiol mud is a highly hydrated alkaline peloid with significant mineral-organic complexity.
Major elements include sodium, calcium, and magnesium, with trace elements like manganese, iron, and zinc found in relevant concentrations.
The organic fraction comprises humic substances, lipids, and proteins, indicating advanced but incomplete humification processes.
