Geochemical perspective on the impact of clays and microalgae on changes in the molecular distribution of the Bujanovac peloid: A comparative study of natural versus laboratory-designed systems
During the maturation of peloids, clay minerals significantly influence the (bio)geochemical transformations of organic matter (OM), promoting the production of beneficial lipid compounds that enhance their balneological value. This study investigated the impact of clay minerals on altering the OM composition of the Bujanovac peloid during a non-standard two-year aging period. In this context, variations in n-alkane, n-aldehyde, and fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) distributions were tracked using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, while the mineral phase was analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction. Maturation changes were monitored by examining the geological (pre-peloid) sample, as well as raw and applied peloids.
Clay minerals played a catalytic role in the maturation process of the OM, in which the relative abundance of odd long-chain n-C27, n-C29, and n-C31 alkanes declined, followed by an increase in even mid-chain n-C24 alkane in the peloids' OM. The geological sample characterized the presence of C16–C32 FAMEs and the absence of n-aldehydes, whereas the raw and applied Bujanovac peloids were rich in even-chain n-aldehydes (C18–C32) and FAMEs. Even-numbered n-aldehydes were likely formed via the de-esterification of FAMEs and, later, the β-oxidation of free fatty acids.
The study also explored the potential for creating a laboratory-designed microalgal peloid by tracking the enrichment of its OM with microalgal compounds. Microalgal n-alkanes dominated the soluble OM (SOM) in the laboratory-designed peloid. This outcome is anticipated since the SOM content of the Bujanovac peloid is roughly 135 times lower than that of microalgae. Regardless of the initial OM characteristics or the clay mineral phase, organic-poor peloids will be artificially enriched with microalgal compounds, thereby adjusting their potential application in wellness practices.
