Rare Earth Elements (REEs), and Sr and Nd isotope distributions, have been studied in mineralized waters from the Massif Central (France). The CO2-rich springs are characterized by a neutral pH (6–7) associated with total dissolved solids (TDS) from 1 to 7 g l−1. The waters result from the mixing of very mineralized water pools, thought to have equilibrated at a temperature of around 200°C with superficial waters. These two mineral water pools evidenced by Sr isotopes and dissolved REEs could reflect 2 different stages of water–rock interaction and an equilibrium with different mineral assemblages.The concentrations of individual dissolved REEs and total dissolved REEs (ΣREE), in the mineral waters examined, vary over several orders of magnitude but are not dependent on the main parameters of the waters (TDS, T°C, pH, Total Organic C). The dissolved REE concentrations presented as upper continental crust normalized patterns show HREE enrichment in most of the samples. The time evolution of REE patterns does not show significant fluctuations except in 1 borehole, located in the Limagne d’Allier area, which was sampled on 16 occasions over an 18 month period. Ten samples are HREE-enriched, whereas 6 samples show flat patterns.The aqueous speciation of REEs shows that CO2−3 complexes dominate (>80%) over the free metal, F−, SO2−4 and HCO−3 complexes. The detailed speciation demonstrates that the fractionation of REEs (i.e. the HREE enrichment) in CO2-rich and pH neutral fluids is due essentially to the predominance of the CO2−3 complexes.The Sr isotopic composition of the mineral waters in the Massif Central shows different mixing processes; in the Cézallier area at least 3 end-member water types exist. The most dilute end-member is likely to originate as poorly mineralized waters with minimal groundwater circulation. Two other mineralized end-members are identified, although the link between the geographical location of spring outflow and the mixing proportion between the 2 end-members is not systematic. The range in ϵNd(0) for mineralized waters in the Massif Central correlates well with that of the known parent rocks except for 4 springs. One way to explain the ϵNd(0) in these instances is a contribution from drainage of volcanic rocks. The isotopic systematics help to constrain the hydrogeological models for this area. 相似文献

Two major types of groundwater can be readily distinguished in the Variscian crystalline basement of the Black Forest in S–W Germany. Saline thermal water utilized in spas has its origin in 3–4 km deep reservoirs and developed its composition by 3 component mixing of surface freshwater, saltwater (of ultimately marine origin) and a water–rock reaction component. In contrast to the thermal water, CO2-rich mineral water, tapped and bottled from many wells in the Black Forest, has low salinities but a TDS distribution similar to that of thermal water. It developed its chemical composition entirely by reaction of CO2-rich water with the gneissic or granitic aquifer rock matrix. Particularly important is the contribution of various plagioclase dissolution and weathering reactions that may, at some locations, involve precipitation and dissolution of secondary calcite. Sodium/Ca ratios of water and of rock forming plagioclase in the basement rocks suggests that plagioclase weathering is strongly incongruent. Calcium is released to the water, whereas Na remains fixed to the albite feldspar component.The major element composition of 192 water samples used in this study also indicates a clear vertical stratification of the type of water chemistry; Ca–HCO3 near the surface, Na–Ca–HCO3–SO4 at intermediate depth and Na–Ca–Cl at great depth.The mean permeability of Black Forest granite is about K=10−6 m/s; it is significantly lower in gneisses (gneiss: mean K=5×10−8 m/s) leading to focused flow through granite. Highly permeable fracture and fault zones, particularly in granite, are utilized by high-TDS saline deep groundwater as ascent channels and flow paths. Although spatially closely associated, the topography driven upwelling system of saline deep water and the near-surface flow system of CO2-rich mineral waters are hydraulically and chemically unconnected. 相似文献

The combined chemical composition, B and Sr isotopes, and the basic geologic setting of geothermal systems from the Menderes Massif in western Turkey have been investigated to evaluate the origin of the dissolved constituents and mechanisms of water–rock interaction. Four types of thermal water are present: (1) a Na–Cl of marine origin; (2) a Na–HCO3 type with high CO2 content that is associated with metamorphic rocks of the Menderes Massif; (3) a Na–SO4 type that is also associated with metamorphic rocks of the Menderes Massif with H2S addition; and (4) a Ca–Mg–HCO3–SO4 type that results from interactions with carbonate rocks at shallow depths. The Na–Cl waters are further subdivided based on Br/Cl ratios. Water from the Cumalı Seferihisar and Bodrum Karaada systems are deep circulated seawater (Br/Cl=sea water) whereas water from Çanakkale–Tuzla (Br/Cl<sea water) are from dissolution of Messinian evaporites. Good correlations between different dissolved salts and temperature indicate that the chemical composition of the thermal waters from non-marine geothermal systems is controlled by: (1) temperature dependent water–rock interactions; (2) intensification of reactions due to high dissolved CO2 and possibly HCl gasses; and (3) mixing with overlying cold groundwater. All of the thermal water is enriched in B. The B isotopic composition (δ11B=2.3‰ to 18.7‰; n=6) can indicate either leaching of B from the rocks, or B(OH)3 degassing flux from deep sources. The large ranges in B concentrations in different rock types as well as in thermal waters from different systems suggest the water-rock mechanism. 87Sr/86Sr ratios of the thermal water are used to differentiate between solutes that have interacted with metamorphic rocks (87Sr/86Sr ratio as high as 0.719479) and carbonate rocks (low 87Sr/86Sr ratio of 0.707864). 相似文献

The geochemical characteristics of hydrothermal waters from the Phlegraean Fields (P.F.) (Naples, Italy) were analysed for minor and trace elements, selectively mobilised in hydrothermal systems such as B, F, Hg, As, Pb and Tl.The water samples, collected from a shallow aquifer likely to be fed by deeper fluids, showed various geochemical features, resulting from the mixing of three components: (1) surface waters of meteoric origin; (2) hot deep waters deriving from water-rock interaction and including deep waters of marine origin; (3) magmatic fluids rising from the local magma chamber, lying a few kilometres below the town of Pozzuoli.This setting, although very complex, provides a reliable means of studying the distribution of the investigated trace elements. In particular, within the Phlegraean area, high contents of B (0.1-48 mg/l), F (0.5-8 mg/l), As (16-6050 μg/l) and Hg (0.7-232 μg/l) were observed. The levels of thallium in the springs close to Solfatara (about 7 μg/l) were in line with those normally recorded in hydrothermal areas, whereas high levels of this element (up to 23.3 μg/l) were identified in other wells of the study area. Lead (1.3 to 29.1 μg/l) appears to be anomalous with respect to its normal content in groundwater (about 1 μg/l), owing to the presence of high-density brines at depth, which enhance the solubility of Pb in volcanic rocks under hydrothermal conditions.The distribution of the investigated trace elements in the Phlegraean Fields thermal area is probably related to the different ascent pathways of the fluids. Clearly, apart from the influence exerted by anomalous thermal conditions, each element shows a different behaviour, depending on its geochemical affinity with mineral phases and as a consequence of the different enthalpy values, which determine ion partitioning in gaseous phases.Based on geochemical evidences and on the distribution of minor and trace elements, the source processes of the investigated hydrothermal waters were defined. Five main groups were identified: (1) acid sulphate waters, resulting from mixing of meteoric water with magmatic gases (mainly H2S); (2) high sulphate-chloride waters, from a deep reservoir located in the major upflow zone; (3) waters associated with significant degassing of magmatic CO2; (4) waters from a deep geothermal neutral chloride reservoir, resulting from heating of marine water modified by water-rock interaction processes; (5) cold waters from the inner area, influenced by low-temperature, water-rock interaction processes. 相似文献

Precisional analyses of the abundances of La, Ce, and major elements in thermal waters and rocks of the Uzon-Geyzernaya volcanotectonic depression, supplemented by published data on a number of modern high-temperature hydrothermal systems of Kamchatka and two other areas of the world, allowed defining genetically important patterns of rare-earth elements (REE) distribution. The La and Ce abundances positively correlate with silica contents both in fresh igneous rocks of the study areas and in the products formed by hydrothermal processes.All studied hydrothermal clays are enriched in La and Ce. The general enrichment trend is similar to the pattern of positive correlation between the La and Ce abundances. Geothermal waters display a strong relationship between REE enrichment and pH. Enhanced REE enrichment trend is observed in thermal waters with abundant SO42 ? and K. The REE versus Cl and B diagrams show two individual fields reflecting the level of acidity-alkalinity of thermal waters. These data demonstrate that La and Ce concentrations in the products of modern hydrothermal systems (in fluids and secondary mineral phases) are governed by wallrock composition, anionic water composition, and pH/Eh-dependent adsorption processes. 相似文献

Strontium isotopes and other geochemical signatures are used to determine the relationships between CO2-rich thermal (Chaves: 76 °C) and mineral (Vilarelho da Raia, Vidago and Pedras Salgadas: 17 °C) waters discharging along one of the major NNE–SSW trending faults in the northern part of mainland Portugal. The regional geology consists of Hercynian granites (syn-tectonic-310 Ma and post-tectonic-290 Ma) intruding Silurian metasediments (quartzites, phyllites and carbonaceous slates). Thermal and mineral waters have 87Sr/86Sr isotopic ratios between 0.716713 and 0.728035. 87Sr/86Sr vs. 1/Sr define three end-members (Vilarelho da Raia/Chaves, Vidago and Pedras Salgadas thermal and mineral waters) trending from rainfall composition towards that of the CO2-rich thermal and mineral waters, indicating different underground flow paths. Local granitic rocks have 87Sr/86Sr ratios of 0.735697–0.789683. There is no indication that equilibrium was reached between the CO2-rich thermal and mineral waters and the granitic rocks. The mean 87Sr/86Sr ratio of the thermal and mineral waters (0.722419) is similar to the Sr isotopic ratios of the plagioclases of the granitic rocks (0.71261–0.72087). The spatial distribution of Sr isotope and geochemical signatures of waters and the host rocks suggests that the thermal and mineral waters circulate in similar but not the same hydrogeological system. Results from this study could be used to evaluate the applicability of this isotope approach in other hydrogeologic investigations. 相似文献

The Aachen hot springs flow out from Upper Devonian limestones at the Variscan thrust front of the Rhenish Massif. Hydrogeochemical
analyses were used to determine the origin of the water and show that sodium, chloride, and sulfate originate from dissolving
evaporites that are influenced by meteoric groundwater. The circulation depths of the Aachen thermal water is estimated to
be >3500 m using SiO2–geothermometry and the regional geothermal gradient of about 30 °C/km. The deep circulation in Paleozoic sandstones, siltstones
and shales and a considerable residence time allow rock water reactions which explain the concentrations of Ba, Sr, F and
Si. While the thermal water rises into Upper Devonian limestones carbonates are dissolved. Cooler fresh water from the vicinity
contributes to the thermal aquifer depending on the pressure head of the springs. Sulfate reduction coupled with methane oxidation
can be observed as soon as the water temperature is below 65 °C.

A mechanical decrepitation device coupled with a gas chromatograph has been used to characterize the molecular composition
of gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons contained in minerals. Application of this technique allows the identification of low-molecular-weight
n-alkanes and some aromatic hydrocarbons in sulfides and gangue minerals from epigenetic Variscan and post-Variscan lead–zinc
deposits in the Rhenish Massif, Germany. Based on the analysis of 200 samples, Variscan and post-Variscan mineralization can
be distinguished by the composition of associated hydrocarbons. Variscan sulfides and gangue minerals contain high abundancies
of methane. In contrast, n-alkanes in the C2–C9 range and aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene) are dominant in post-Variscan mineralization. The absence of high-molecular-weight
hydrocarbons in ore minerals suggests highly mature gas associated with hydrothermal activity, during which hydrothermal fluids
caused an increase in thermal maturation of organic matter and the generation of low-molecular-weight hydrocarbons in the
adjacent organic-rich rocks. The hydrocarbon compositions contained in fluid inclusions of Variscan and post-Variscan minerals
are probably governed by the maturation level of the potential source rocks. In Variscan time tectonic brines (T > 175 °C) generated predominantly methane, whereas basement brines (T < 175 °C) expelled higher-molecular-weight hydrocarbons (wet gases, condensates, aromatic hydrocarbons) from adjacent rocks
during the Mesozoic event. The specific role of hydrocarbons in sulfide precipitation via thermochemical sulfate reduction
is indicated by geochemical characteristics of organic matter associated with the Plombières Pb–Zn deposit, in eastern Belgium.
Intense alteration phenomena were observed in near-ore kerogens, compared with unaltered kerogens far from the ore body, as
well as by a very high maturity (5.40% Ro), a systematic depletion in 12C towards the vein-type mineralization, high atomic S/C ratios (0.49), and by low atomic H/C ratios (0.29). The data suggest
that hydrothermal solutions caused a drastic increase in the thermal maturation of organic matter within the adjacent wall
rock. Increased thermal maturation resulted in increased δ13C-values of organic carbon due to the preferential release of 12C. The change in the organic matter to a H-depleted and S-enriched bulk composition in association with sulfide ores strongly
suggests that thermochemical sulfate reduction was responsible for organic degradation. Thus, thermochemical sulfate reduction
probably triggered base metal sulfide precipitation in Variscan and post-Variscan ore deposits of the Rhenish Massif. Finally,
based on data from this study and previous investigations, new genetic models are presented for both Variscan and post-Variscan
mineralization in the Rhenish Massif.

Uttarakhand geothermal area, located in the central belt of the Himalayan geothermal province, is one of the important high temperature geothermal fields in India. In this study, the chemical characteristics of the thermal waters are investigated to identify the main geochemical processes affecting the composition of thermal waters during its ascent toward the surface as well as to determine the subsurface temperature of the feeding reservoir. The thermal waters are mainly Ca–Mg–HCO3 type with moderate silica and TDS concentrations. Mineral saturation states calculated from PHREEQC geochemical code indicate that thermal waters are supersaturated with respect to calcite, dolomite, aragonite, chalcedony, quartz (SI > 0), and undersaturated with respect to gypsum, anhydrite, and amorphous silica (SI < 0). XRD study of the spring deposit samples fairly corroborates the predicted mineral saturation state of the thermal waters. Stable isotopes (δ18O, δ2H) data confirm the meteoric origin of the thermal waters with no oxygen-18 shift. The mixing phenomenon between thermal water with shallow ground water is substantiated using tritium (3H) and chemical data. The extent of dilution is quantified using tritium content of thermal springs and non-thermal waters. Classical geothermometers, mixing model, and multicomponent fluid geothermometry modeling (GeoT) have been applied to estimate the subsurface reservoir temperature. Among different classical geothermometers, only quartz geothermometer provide somewhat reliable estimation (96–140 °C) of the reservoir temperature. GeoT modeling results suggest that thermal waters have attained simultaneous equilibrium with respect to minerals like calcite, quartz, chalcedony, brucite, tridymite, cristobalite, talc, at the temperature 130 ± 5 °C which is in good agreement with the result obtained from the mixing model. 相似文献

The geochemistry of dissolved and suspended loads in river catchments of two low mountain ranges in Central Europe allows comparison of pertinent chemical weathering rates. Distinct differences in lithology, i.e. granites prevailing in the Black Forest compared to Palaeozoic sediments in the Rhenish Massif, provide the possibility to examine the influence of lithology on weathering. Here we determine the origin of river water using the stable isotope ratio δ18OH2O and we quantify the geogenic proportions of sulphate from stable isotope ratios δ34SSO4 and δ18OSO4. Particularly in catchments with abundant pyrite, determination of the geogenic amount of sulphate is important, since oxidation of pyrite leads to acidity, which increases weathering. Our results show that spatially averaged silicate weathering rates are higher for the river catchments Acher and Gutach in the Black Forest (10–12 t/km2/yr) compared to the river catchments of the Möhne dam and the Aabach dam in the Rhenish Massif (2–6 t/km2/yr). Correspondingly, the CO2 consumption by silicate weathering in the Black Forest (334–395 × 103 mol/km2/yr) is more than twice as high as in the Rhenish Massif (28–151 × 103 mol/km2/yr). These higher rates for watersheds of the Black Forest are likely due to steeper slopes leading to higher mechanical erosion with respective higher amounts of fresh unweathered rock particulates and due to the fact that the sediments in the Rhenish Massif have already passed through at least one erosion cycle. Carbonate weathering rates vary between 12 and 38 t/km2/yr in the catchments of the Rhenish Massif. The contribution of sulphuric acid to the silicate weathering is higher in the catchments of the Rhenish Massif (9–16%) than in the catchments of the Black Forest (5–7%) due to abundant pyrite in the sediments of the Rhenish Massif. Three times higher long-term erosion rates derived from cosmogenic nuclides compared to short-term erosion rates derived from river loads in Central Europe point to three times higher CO2 consumption during the past 103 to 104 years. 相似文献

Groundwater at the Azores archipelago is a strategic resource for the freshwater supply. Freshwater, mineral and thermal water discharges occur in the archipelago, and especially at the Fogo and Furnas volcanoes (São Miguel). These discharges provide data for case studies of groundwater chemistry from volcanic monitoring due to the stable composition of the sampled waters. The mineral and thermal discharges are mainly of sodium bicarbonate types and present a large range of temperatures, from cold springs to waters at about 90 °C. Some boiling discharges have a sulfate-dominated composition, suggesting a steam-heating mechanism. Geochemical studies on these mineral and thermal waters began in the 19th century. Data gathered since these earlier studies provide a baseline for pH, temperature, CO2 and major-element composition. Weekly measurements of pH and temperature also denote a rather stable behavior. 相似文献

Petrogenesis of Tertiary Continental Intra-plate Lavas from the Westerwald Region, Germany 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：2

Tertiary volcanic rocks from the Westerwald region range frombasanites and alkali basalts to trachytes, whereas lavas fromthe margin of the Vogelsberg volcanic field consist of morealkaline basanites and alkali basalts. Heavy rare earth elementfractionation indicates that the primitive Westerwald magmasprobably represent melts of garnet peridotite. The Vogelsbergmelts formed in the spinel–garnet peridotite transitionregion with residual amphibole for some magmas suggesting meltingof relatively cold mantle. Assimilation of lower-crustal rocksand fractional crystallization altered the composition of lavasfrom the Westerwald and Vogelsberg region significantly. Thecontaminating lower crust beneath the Rhenish Massif has a differentisotopic composition from the lower continental crust beneaththe Hessian Depression and Vogelsberg, implying a compositionalboundary between the two crustal domains. The mantle sourceof the lavas from the Rhenish Massif has higher 206Pb/204Pband 87Sr/86Sr than the mantle source beneath the Vogelsbergand Hessian Depression. The 30–20 Ma volcanism of theWesterwald apparently had the same mantle source as the QuaternaryEifel lavas, suggesting that the magmas probably formed in apulsing mantle plume with a maximum excess temperature of 100°Cbeneath the Rhenish Massif. The relatively shallow melting ofamphibole-bearing peridotite beneath the Vogelsberg and HessianDepression may indicate an origin from a metasomatized portionof the thermal boundary layer.

Pleistocene tectonics inferred from fluvial terraces of the northern Upper Rhine Graben, Germany 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
This study of fluvial terraces of the River Rhine and tributaries aims to search for indications of Pleistocene tectonic activity. The study area includes the northern Upper Rhine Graben (URG), the Mainz Basin and the adjacent Rhenish Massif with the Middle Rhine Valley. High rates of Quaternary surface processes, large amount of human modifications, relatively slow tectonic deformation and presently low intra-plate seismic activity characterize this area. Therefore, the records of relatively slow tectonic deformation are less well preserved and thus difficult to detect. This study uses the relative position of fluvial terraces to determine the more local effects of fault movements on the terraces and to evaluate their displacement rates and patterns. The research is based on a review of previous terrace studies and new terrace mapping from the eastern Mainz Basin and the bordering URG using topographic map interpretations and field observations. This newly mapped sequence of terrace surfaces can be correlated to other terraces in the vicinity on the basis of relative height levels. Terrace correlation between the western Mainz Basin and Middle Rhine Valley relies on a single chronostratigraphic unit (Mosbach sands) and additional relative height correlations. This is the first study to present a continuous correlation of terraces from the western margin of the URG to the Rhenish Massif and enables the study of the transition from the subsiding graben to the uplifted Rhenish Massif. By means of a longitudinal profile, which ranges from the URG to the Rhenish Massif, the influence of individual fault movements on the terrace levels and the large-scale regional uplift is demonstrated. It is evident from the profile that the uplift of Early to Middle Pleistocene terraces increases northwards, towards the Rhenish Massif. The uplift was diachronic, with a significant pulse occurring first in the northern URG (Lower Pleistocene) and later in the Rhenish Massif (Middle Pleistocene). The largest vertical displacements are recorded for the boundary fault separating the Mainz Basin and the Rhenish Massif (Hunsrück–Taunus Boundary Fault) and for faults bounding the northeastern Mainz Basin. The motions and displacement rates calculated for individual faults indicate deformation rates in the order of 0.01–0.08 mm/year. At this stage, the calculation of displacement rates depends mostly on a single dated stratigraphic unit. Additional dating of terrace deposits is urgently needed to better constrain the temporal development of the terrace sequence and the impact of tectonic movements. 相似文献

The Terme and Karakurt thermal resorts are located in the center of Kirşehir city in central Anatolia. Thermal waters with
temperatures of 44–60°C are used for central heating and balneologic purposes. Paleozoic rocks of the Kirşehir Massif are
the oldest units in the study area. The basement of the Massif comprises Paleozoic metamorphic schist and marbles which partly
contain white quartzite layers of a few tens of cm thickness. The metamorphic schists which are cut by granites of Paleocene
age are overlain by horizontally bedded conglomerate, sandstone, claystone, and limestone of upper Paleocene-Eocene age. Among
the thermal and cold waters collected from the areas of Terme and Karakurt, those from thermal waters are enriched with Ca–HCO3 and cold waters are of Ca–Mg–HCO3 type waters. The pH values of samples are 6.31–7.04 for the thermal well waters, 6.41 for thermal spring, 7.25 and 7.29 for
the cold waters, and 7.52 for the Hirla lake water. EC values are 917–2,295 μS/cm for the thermal well waters, 2,078 μS/cm
for thermal spring, and 471 and 820 μS/cm for the cold springs. The lowest TDS content is from water of T10 thermal well in
the Terme area (740.6 mg/l). The hot and cold waters of Terme show very similar ion contents while the Karakurt hot waters
at western most parts are characterized by distinct chemical compositions. There is ion exchange in thermal waters from the
T5 (5), T6 (6), T12 (7), and T1 (8) wells in the Terme area. The thermal waters show low concentrations of Fe, Mn, Ni, Al,
As, Pb, Zn and Cu. Waters in the study area are of meteoric origin, and rainwater percolated downwards through faults and
fractures, and are heated by the geothermal gradient, later rising to the surface along permeable zones. δ13CVPDB values measured on dissolved inorganic carbon in samples range from −1.65 to +5.61‰ for thermal waters and from −11.81 to
−10.15‰ for cold waters. Carbon in thermal waters is derived from marine carbonates or CO2 of metamorphic origin while carbon in cold waters originates from freshwater carbonates. 相似文献

Geochemical patterns and origin of alkaline thermal waters in Central Greece (Platystomo and Smokovo areas) 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
This study investigates the origin and chemical composition of the thermal waters of Platystomo and Smokovo areas in Central Greece as well as any possible relationships of them to the neighboring geothermal fields located in the south-eastern part of Sperchios basin. The correlations between different dissolved salts and the temperature indicate that the chemical composition of thermal waters are controlled by, the mineral dissolution and the temperature, the reactions due to CO2 that originates possibly by diffusion from the geothermal fields of Sperchios basin and the mixing of thermal waters with fresh groundwater from karst or shallow aquifers. Two major groups of waters are recognized on the basis of their chemistry: thermal waters of Na–HCO3–Cl type and thermal waters mixed with fresh groundwater of Ca–Mg–Na–HCO3 type. All thermal waters of the study area are considered as modified by water–rock interaction rainwater, heated in depth and mixed in some cases with fresh groundwater when arriving to the surface. Trace elements present low concentrations. Lithium content suggests discrimination between the above two groups of waters. Boron geochemistry confirms all the above remarks. Boron concentration ranges from 60 μg L?1 to 10 mg L?1, while all samples’ constant isotopic composition (δ11B ≈ 10 ‰) indicates leaching from rocks. The positive correlation between the chemical elements and the temperature clearly indicates that much of the dissolved salts are derived from water–rock interactions. The application of geothermometers suggests that the reservoir temperature is around 100–110 °C. Chalcedony temperatures are similar to the emergent temperatures and this is typical of convective waters in fault systems in normal thermal gradient areas. 相似文献

Deep formation waters were sampled from boreholes on the S-E slopes of the Bohemian Massif. They are NaClHCO3 waters with TDS in the range 6–52 g L−1. Some of them are associated with gas and oil deposits. The waters are rich in Br and I and their δDandδ180 isotope compositions vary from −12 to −77‰ and + 4.6 to −10‰ respectively.The processes of concentration and dilution have been discussed based on deuterium and conservative element contents of the waters. Three regional groups can be identified in the plots Br vs I and Cl vs I: the Vienna Basin samples (VB), southern (S) and northern (N) flanks of the Bohemian Massif (BM). The VB samples have as an end member brackish water with about 7 g L−1 Cl (about 40% marine component) enriched in Br and I. This water has been later diluted by meteoric water of recent isotopic composition. Only 3 VB samples can be considered as derived from the dissolution of evaporites. The salt content of the S and N end members is very close to or higher than sea water with an isotopic composition similar to the brackish water. Subaerial evaporation of diluted sea water is suggested as the process increasing salt content. The evaporative enrichment of primary brackish solution can be estimated from extrapolation of Cl vs I and Br vs I plots to zero I (about 25 mg L−1 Br and 6 g L−1 Cl for the southern flanks of the BM). Evaporated solutions were later diluted by meteoric waters with δD in the range from −50 to −80‰ (southern flanks) and about −80‰ (northern flanks). 相似文献

The near-surface water cycle in a geologically complex area comprises very different sources including meteoric, metamorphic and magmatic ones. Fluids from these sources can react with sedimentary, magmatic and/or metamorphic rocks at various depths. The current study reports a large number of major, minor and trace element analyses of meteoric, mineral, thermal and mine waters from a geologically well-known and variable area of about 200 × 150 km in SW Germany. The geology of this area comprises a Variscan granitic and gneissic basement overlain in parts by Triassic and Jurassic shales, sandstones and limestones. In both the basement and the sedimentary rocks, hydrothermal mineralization occurs (including Pb, Cu, As, Zn, U, Co and many others) which were mined in former times. Mineral waters, thermal waters and meteoric waters flowing through abandoned mines (mine waters) are distributed throughout the area, although the mine waters concentrate in and around the Schwarzwald.The present analyses show, that the major element composition of a particular water is determined by the type of surrounding rock (e.g., crystalline or sedimentary rocks) and the depth from which the water originates. For waters from crystalline rocks it is the origin of the water that determines whether the sample is Na–Cl dominant (deeper origin) or Ca–HCO3 dominant (shallow origin). In contrast, compositions of waters from sedimentary rocks are determined by the availability of easily soluble minerals like calcite (Ca–HCO3 dominant), halite (Na–Cl dominant) or gypsum (Ca–SO4 dominant). Major element data alone cannot, therefore, be used to trace the origin of a water. However, the combination of major element composition with trace element data can provide further information with respect to flow paths and fluid–rock interaction processes. Accordingly, trace element analyses showed, that:
- −Ce anomalies can be used as an indicator for the origin of a water. Whereas surface waters have negative or strongly negative Ce anomalies, waters originating from greater depths show no or only weak negative Ce anomalies.
- −Eu anomalies can be used to differentiate between host rocks. Waters from gneisses display positive Eu anomalies, whereas waters from granites have negative ones. Waters from sedimentary rocks do not display any Eu anomalies.
- −Rb and Cs can also be indicators for the rock with which the fluid interacted: Rb and Cs correlate positively in most waters with Rb/Cs ratios of ∼2, which suggests that these waters are in equilibrium with the clay minerals in the rocks. Rb/Cs ratios >5 indicate reaction of a water with existing clay minerals, whereas Rb/Cs ratios <2 are probably related to host rock alteration and clay mineral formation.

Particle size distributions and the mineralogy of inorganic colloids in waters draining the adit of an abandoned mine (Goesdorf, Luxembourg) were quantified by single particle counting based on light scattering (100 nm–2 μm) combined with transmission electronic microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy and selected area electron diffraction. This water system was chosen as a surrogate for groundwaters. The dependence of the colloid number concentration on colloid diameters can be described by a power-law distribution in all cases. Power-law slopes ranged from −3.30 to −4.44, depending on water ionic strength and flow conditions. The same main mineral types were found in the different samples: 2:1 phyllosilicates (illite and mica), chlorite, feldspars (albite and orthoclase), calcite and quartz; with a variable number of Fe oxide particles. The colloid mineralogical composition closely resembles the composition of the parent rock. Spatial variations in the structure and composition of the rock in contact with the waters, i.e. fissured rock versus shear joints, are reflected in the colloid composition. The properties of the study colloids, as well as the processes influencing them, can be considered as representative of the colloids present in groundwaters. 相似文献

Mineral and thermal waters occur at Kalinciakovo, Santovka, Dudince, Slatina and Turovce, in the inner side of the Western
Carpathian arc, the south-western margin of the Central Slovak Neovolcanics, and on the so-called Levice spring line. They
are important sources of mineral waters for Slovakia, which are used for different purposes (bathing therapy, bottling, recreation).
The mineral and thermal waters of Dudince have an extraordinary position among them. The mineral water with its physico-chemical
composition and content of gasses enables its wide use for bathing therapy and it occupies a special position among the mineral
waters of the Carpathian arc.

Mineral waters in Sarissky Stiavnik and Radoma are formed on the tectonic fault zones of the Zlin formation and Makovica sandstones. Precipitation waters flow downwards thus becoming enriched in TDS content. The process is enhanced by inflow of CO2 rich mineral waters of the Obidowa-Slopnice-Zboj unit, pushed by carbon dioxide and methane. Mineral waters in Sarissky Stiavnik and Radoma are of the Na-HCO3 chemical type, typical for the mineral water springs of the Magura unit in this part of the flysch belt. The origin of chloride component in the TDS content can be found in the waters with thalasogenic mineralization beneath the Magura unit, where the Obidowa-Slopnice-Zboj unit is to be found. Hydrogeological structures in Sarissky Stiavnik and Radoma can be classified as combined hydrogeological structures, where the upper partial hydrogeological structure is opened (Magura unit) and the lower structure is semi-closed (unit Obidowa-Slopnice-Zboj). 相似文献
