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

pH values of the mixtures studied at room temperature were 5.14 for the tri-distilled<br />

water mixture <strong>and</strong> 4.54 for the seawater mixture.<br />

Conclusions<br />

Montmorillonite was found to present a higher density than zeolite.<br />

The density of the clay <strong>and</strong> tri-distilled water mixtures is less than that of the<br />

clay <strong>and</strong> seawater mixture.<br />

The thermal conductivity value of the seawater <strong>and</strong> clay mixture is higher than<br />

the mixture obtained with tri-distilled water.<br />

Both density <strong>and</strong> thermal conductivity values were found to be adequate for use<br />

in Spa centres.<br />

Keywords: Thermophysical Properties<br />
