Abstract

Carnalite salt evaporation ponds are created as a result of the Arab Potash Company work south of the Dead Sea. Development of salt gradient solar ponds for the utilization and storage of solar energy in this locality seems to be logical thinking. Therefore, a laboratory scale solar pond of the dimensions 1 × 2 × 1 m has been constructed. Carnalite salt was the salt utilized in this pond. The gradient zone was established by the redistribution method. The pond was maintained for the period 18 April-18 August 1990. The development of temperature and salinity profiles were studied. The heating up process took around five weeks after which steady state pond operation was established.
