Major and Trace element determination in Brine and Bittern

Niva Nayak

Abstract :

As the land based resources are depleting at an alarming rate Seawater is considered as an alternative resource of chemicals. Bittern is the waste material rejected at the solar salt fields after removal of salt from seawater. As the seawater and bittern are rich in valuable marine chemicals these can be utilised for the recovery. Attempts has been made to determine the major and trace elements present in ine and bittern to recover various economically important marine chemicals.   d constitute more than 98% of dissolved solids.The six major ions constituting 98% of dissolved solid in seawater are sodium ion (Na⁺), chloride (Cl^–), sulphate (SO₄^2–), magnesium ion (Mg²⁺), calcium ion (Ca²⁺), and potassium ion (K⁺).A study has been carried out to characterise Seawater Brine and Bittern for possible metal extraction like  potassium and magnesium.
