Abstract

Data are presented concerning the macro- and microcomponent composition of the salt lakes of the North-West Mongolia. The evaluation of Li, U-238, B, Br, Sr, Rb content was performed for several lakes of the North-West Mongolia. It was demonstrated that the concentration of U-238 in lake waters can reach 1 mg/L, Li – 50 mg/L, Br – 460 mg/L, B – 100 mg/L. By the example of the Shaazgay Nuur Lake we estimated a daily intake of macro- and microcomponents at the expense of water flowing into the Hargayn Gol River. It was demonstrated that the complex processing of hydromineral raw from the lakes of the North-West Mongolia requires for purifying them from uranium.
