Abstract Mud volcano (MV) is one of the most important channels for deep seated volatile materials to migrate to Earth’s surface in the sedimentary basins at subduction zones. It plays a meaningful role of elemental budget in hydrosphere. Waters of MV fluid emitted from 46 mud pools in MV Lei-Gong-Huo (LGH) in eastern Taiwan were sampled from October 2015 to July 2016 monthly. Previous research indicates that the chemical characteristic of fluid expelled by MV LGH is dominated by two-end-member
