Abstract

The elemental, structural and mineralogical characterization, as well as their physico-chemical properties of the clay and magnetic fractions of three medicinal mineral effluents collected in situ designated “La Milagrosa” (MML), “La Mellicera” (MELL), and “La Encantada” (MEC), are determined. These effluents are located in the District of Chilca, Cañete Province, south of Lima-Peru, and their morphology has been altered during the last five years after we carried out a previous study1, 2. The physical analytical techniques used were: energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy (TMS) at room and liquid helium temperature, and at low and high velocities. The results show that dolomite is the main clay phase present with structural sites occupied by Fe+2 and Fe+3 cations; the mineralogy of the magnetic fraction shows the presence of hematite and magnetite.
