<strong>Medical</strong> <strong>Hydrology</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Balneology</strong>: <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Aspects</strong><br />

Conclusions<br />

The thermal behaviour of the mixtures of algae, seawater <strong>and</strong> clay depends<br />

mainly on the content in water of the sample. The thermal conductivity <strong>and</strong> density<br />

values increase with decreasing concentration of sea water while the specific heat<br />

increases with increasing concentration of seawater. The results obtained indicate<br />

that mixtures of algae, sea water <strong>and</strong> clay are suitable for thermotherapeutic applications<br />

in thalassotherapy centers.<br />
