The eruption mud in Ninh Thuan can be bathed

This mud can be exploited and put into use for the purpose of soaking, nursing and restoring health. Estimated reserves of mineral mud here are about 30,409 tons, exploitation capacity is nearly 600 tons / year of refined sludge and operates for about 13 years.

More than 30 thousand tons of potential mineral mud

As laodong.com.vn reported, from the beginning of March 2011 in the area of ​​Suoi Da village, Loi Hai commune, Thuan Bac district (Ninh Thuan), there appeared some mud sludge erupting on farmland. Soon after, local authorities and authorities came to find out the cause.

On June 1, the Department of Science and Technology and the Field Research Group under the Central Association for Water Resources Planning and Investigation concluded that the phenomenon of soil cracking, the appearance of mud in Thuan Bac (Ninh Thuan) is just a form of geohazard. small scale. The cause is related to endogenous factors, due to the tectonic fault activity of the shallow part of the earth's crust and has the effect of exogenous factors such as the activity of rainwater and underground water. The soft ground and the groundwater pressure caused mud eruptions.

Functional authorities survey mud pit in Suoi Da - Loi Hai, Thuan Bac, Ninh Thuan.

According to Mr. Pham Chau Hoanh, Head of Ninh Thuan Department of Science and Technology Management Department: ' Because it is just a small scale geological disaster, it does not affect economic activities and people's life. On the other hand, through sampling and analysis, we found that this is a kind of mineral mud that can be put into exploitation and use for the purpose of bathing in nursing and studying more deeply for treatment and health recovery ' .

According to the report of the team's results, estimates of mineral mud reserves here are about 30,409 tons. Although the reserve is not large and the recovery is low, it is enough for a nursing tourism center to use bathing services with mineral water and mineral mud with the exploitation capacity of about 600 tons / year of refined and activated mud. dynamic for about 13 years.

The survey team also investigated the quality of the potential assessment of mud. Initial results show that the mineral mud here is of good quality, does not contain toxic elements that meet the purpose of use for bathing, healing, restoring health . This mineral sludge has an inorganic origin that is agglomerated from mineral water and 'driftwood' product from weathered bark of deep granite, which is then brought up under the soil 'cracks' due to the pressure of groundwater. Composition of average clay powder accounts for 27%, neutral pH from 6.9 to 7, high silicon content contains many trace elements necessary for human health. Through mud bath therapy can increase the body's bioavailability.

Be careful with the 'mud trap'

Among the five mud sludge, there were two new sludge ditches that were extracted from the end of February 2011; 2 other mud sludge extruded more than 6 months ago (in the dry season 2010); A sludge was erected long ago (around 1970). All of these mudflats are located on an area of ​​about 1,700 m2 in the rice fields of Mr. Eama fascist and Father Ma Nga (Suoi Da village, Loi Hai commune, Thuan Bac district).

A muddy hole in the field of the Father's land that was hidden by the Horse.

Mud surges up under the cracks of soil to form the distributions in the direction of northeast - southwest, the diameter of each mud hole is from 1.6 to 3m, the mud is floating 0.4 - 0.8m above the ground, the degree is Depth of 5-6m mud drives. Mud is light gray, light green, cool hand touch in mud with pressure water oozing out. The sludge pressure is quite strong, so the more the mud expands, the more the mud flows out.

According to Mr. Eama fascist, (who discovered mud mud in 1970 in this area), the mud here is extruded all year round, but extruded strongly and more in the rainy season. Through actual monitoring at recent times, the research team found that the amount of sludge was gradually reduced due to the weather being in the dry season, the hot sun, but in the muddy ground, it was always loose, saturated with water like emulsion. soy sauce.

The appearance of deep mud pits on rice fields becomes a "trap" very dangerous for people and livestock when crossing. According to local people, once there used to be a cow who drank water from a mud pit, it collapsed its foot into a pit leading to drowning.

On the other hand, according to the forecast of the research team, the phenomenon of sludge eruption will continue to occur according to the natural law, within the area has appeared, especially when heavy rains occur. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety for people's activities in the area, the locality needs to carry out the fencing, setting up warning signs, prohibiting people and cattle from passing through this area.
