Abstract
The behavior of manganese, molybdenum and selenium in the Great Salt Lake was investigated. These elements occur in inflowing streams, both from natural and industrial origins. The brines and sediments of the Great Salt Lake were sampled and analyzed to determine the disposition of the elements in the lake. It was found that manganese, molybdenum and selenium are not concentrating in the brines as are other soluble salts but are being precipitated into the sediments.
