Measurement of Some Chemical Characteristics of Water in AL-Najaf Sea

Abstract

This experiment includes the measurement of some chemical characteristics of AL-Najef sea water which situated at the west of AL-Najaf Governorate .On September,15,2010. Samples are collected from five locations to study : temperature , electric conductivity (EC),PH, hardness and concentration of ions : Chloride, Sulphates and Carbonates. Results have shower that the measurements of :temperature ranges (20- 28)CV, EC (39-206.6) μm/cm; PH (4.6- (400-873)mgL. The concentration of ions ranges were of Chloride (200-1400) mg/L; Carbonate (70-155) mg/L and Sulphate (260-1400)mg/L. Results have also revealed ,that the values of temperature, conductivity and hardness are increased with water movement toward the sea with an increased concentration for the studied ions . These results have indicated that sea water of AL-Najaf is polluted with an acidic behaviour.
