PHYSICO-CHEMICAL STUDY OF THE DEAD SEA WATERS I. Activity Coefficients of Major Ions in Dead Sea Water
ABSTRACTKrumgalz, B.S. and Millero, F.J., 1982. Physico-chemical study of the Dead Sea waters. I. Activity coefficients of major ions in Dead Sea water. Mar. Chem., 11 : 209–222. Conventional single-ion activity coefficients of major ions in Dead Sea brines, and their osmotic coefficients, have been estimated using Pitzer’s thermodynamic treatment of mixed electrolyte solutions. For […]

Performance of Drilled Shafts Socketed in the Dead Sea Crystalline Salt under Short Term Vertical Loading Condition
ABSTRACT: Drilled shafts socketed in crystalline rock salt are a common type of foundations used in the Dead Sea region to support high vertical and lateral loads. The existing subsurface condition consists of soft clay followed by crystalline salt. Due to the difference in nature and geological features, the performance of such foundation types under […]
Origin of high bromide concentration in the water sources in Jordan and in the Dead Sea water
Abstract The Dead Sea is worldwide a major bromine provider for industry with an average concentration of 5.2 g/l of bromide compared to 0.065 mg/l in seawater and with a Cl/Br weight ratio in the Dead Sea water of about 42 compared to around 300 in oceanic water. The origin of the high bromide concentration […]
Optical Properties of the Dead Sea water
AbstractThe Dead Sea, a hyper-saline lake in the rift valley between Jordan and Israel, is an extreme body of water in many ways. In particular, its salinity is extremely high, resulting in unique biogeochemistry and optical properties.In the spring of 2004 we conducted two days of physical and optical measurements in the lake measuring temperature, […]
Nutrients in pore waters from Dead Sea sediments
Microalgae and cyanobacteria of the Dead Sea and its surrounding springs
AbstractScientific exploration of the algal and cyanobacterial flora of the Dead Sea and its surroundings started in the 1930s. The unicellular green alga Dunaliella parva is the sole primary producer in the water column of the Dead Sea. The dynamics of the Dunaliella population and the interrelationships between the alga and the physical and chemical […]
Magnesium of Dead Sea Salts as a Key Factor for the Treatment of Seborrheic and Atopic Dermatitis: A Case Report
A B S T R A C TBackground: Seborrheic and atopic dermatitis are common and chronic inflammatory skin diseases. Conventional treatments are often ineffective and can have significant side effects. Magnesium dead sea salt has a high concentration of magnesium, and previous research shows its potential to help improve skin conditions. Case presentation: Patients with […]
