The concentration of arsenic measured in groundwater from three aquifers in the study area located in the Eastern Tucuman
province, Argentina, mostly depends on the lithology, but the spatial and temporal variations of concentrations seem to be
also controlled by pH changes, climatic factors, and human perturbations. The highest concentrations of As (more than 1,000 μg
L−1) were found in the shallow aquifer, made of As-rich loess, while the lowest concentrations were measured in the deep confined
aquifer, consisting of alternating layers of alluvial sands/gravels and clays. Intermediate values were measured in the semiconfined
aquifer made of the fluvial sediments deposited in the Salí River valley, that alternate in the upper part of the sedimentary
sequence with layers of loess. Because most of As in the loess is considered to be adsorbed onto Fe-oxyhydroxide coatings,
the increase of pH in the flow direction (west-east) leads to increasing arsenic concentrations towards the eastern border
of the study area. The decomposition of organic wastes poured into the Salí River or associated with local and diffuse sources
of contamination in the eastern part of the study area depletes dissolved oxygen, which leads to the reductive dissolution
of Fe and Mn oxyhydroxides, and to the subsequent release of the adsorbed and co-precipitated As. This process mainly affects
shallow groundwater and the upper part of the semiconfined aquifer. Geochemical and hydrological data also suggest that rising
water table levels at the end of the wet season may also lead to reductive dissolution of As-rich Fe oxyhydroxides in the
shallow aquifer. 相似文献

The shallow alluvial aquifers of the delta plains and flood plains of Bangladesh, comprises about 70% of total land area are
mostly affected by elevated concentrations of arsenic (As) in groundwater exposing a population of more than 35 million to
As toxicity. Geochemical studies of shallow alluvial aquifer in the Meghna flood plain show that the uppermost yellowish grey
sediment is low in As (1.03 mg/kg) compared to the lower dark grey to black sediment (5.24 mg/kg) rich in mica and organic
matter. Sequential extraction data show that solid phase As bound to poorly crystalline and amorphous metal (Fe, Mn, Al)-oxyhydroxides
is dominant in the grey to dark grey sediment and reaches its maximum level (3.05 mg/kg) in the mica rich layers. Amount of
As bound to sulphides and organic matter also peaks in the dark grey to black sediment. Vertical distributions of major elements
determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) show that iron (Fe2O3), aluminum (Al2O3) and manganese (MnO) follow the general trend of distribution of As in the sediments. Concentrations of As, Mn, Fe, HCO3
−, SO4
2− and NO3
− in groundwater reflect the redox status of the aquifer and are consistent with solid phase geochemistry. Mineralogical analysis
by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) fitted with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) revealed
dominance of crystalline iron oxides and hydroxides like magnetite, hematite and goethite in the oxidised yellowish grey sediment.
Amorphous Fe-oxyhydroxides identified as grain coating in the mica and organic matter rich sediment suggests weathering of
biotite is playing a critical role as the source of Fe(III)-oxyhydroxides which in turn act as sink for As. Presence of authigenic
pyrite in the dark grey sediment indicates active reduction in the aquifer. 相似文献

Water management in semiarid and arid catchments such as the Poopó Lake Basin requires improved understanding of the complex behavior of the various contaminants, which affect the drinking water quality and considered as crucial for sustainable development of the region. Mechanisms of arsenic (As) release in the surface and groundwater were studied. Hydrochemical data for surface water (4 samples) and groundwater (28 samples) were collected in a small watershed in the Poopó catchment at the highland of the Bolivian Andes (Altiplano). All of them show high electrical conductivity values and moderately oxidizing conditions. The surface water contains high concentration of sulfate and the trace elements As, Zn and Pb in the zone affected by acid mine drainage. There is a large variability of the concentration of As and of the trace elements in the groundwater in the five different regions within the Poopó catchment. The metal concentrations sensitive to changes of redox state and results of speciation modeling suggest that As (V) is a predominant aqueous species, which conforms to the prevailing oxidizing conditions in the shallow groundwater environment. Two generalized trends for As distribution were identified in groundwater: (a) high concentrations are found in the arid zone (100–250 μg/L) in the southern (region III) and in the northwestern (region V) regions, and (b) low concentrations (<50 μg/L) are found in the remaining part of the basin (region I, II and IV). However, the spatial distribution within these regions needs to be investigated further. A conclusion from the present study is that there are multiple sources of As as well as other trace elements (such as Cd, Mn and Zn) in the Poopó Lake Basin. Among the sources and the processes which led to the mobility of As and other trace metals in the region are: (a) weathering of sulfide minerals, (b) oxidation of pyrite and/or arsenopyrite in mineralized areas and (c) desorption from hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) surfaces. In non-mining areas, volcanic ash is suggested to be a significant source of As. 相似文献

The purpose of this report is to explain geochemical and stable isotopes trends in the Brazilian unit of the Guarani Aquifer
System (Botucatu and Piramboia aquifers) in S?o Paulo State, Brazil. Trends of dissolved species concentrations and geochemical
modeling indicated a significant role of cation exchange and dissolution of carbonates in downgradient evolution of groundwater
chemistry. Loss of calcium by the exchange for sodium drives dissolution of carbonates and results in Na–HCO3 type of groundwater. The cation-exchange front moves downgradient at probably much slower rate compared to the velocity of
groundwater flow and at present is located near to the cities of Sert?ozinho and águas de Santa Barbara (wells PZ-34 and PZ-148,
respectively) in a shallow confined area, 50–70 km from the recharge zone. Part of the sodium probably enters the Guarani
Aquifer System. together with chloride and sulfate from the underlying Piramboia Formation by diffusion related to the dissolution
of evaporates like halite and gypsum. High concentrations of fluorine (up to 13.3 mg/L) can be explained by dissolution of
mineral fluoride also driven by cation exchange. However, it is unclear if the dissolution takes place directly in the Guarani
Aquifer System or in the overlying basaltic Serra Geral Formation. There is depletion in δ
2H and δ
18O values in groundwater downgradient. Values of δ
13C(DIC) are enriched downgradient, indicating dissolution of calcite under closed system conditions. Values of δ
13C(DIC) in deep geothermal wells are very high (>–6.0‰) and probably indicate isotopic exchange with carbonates with δ
13C about –3.0‰. Future work should be based on evaluation of vertical fluxes and potential for penetration of contamination
to the Guarani Aquifer System.

Arsenic in shallow groundwater of Bangladesh: investigations from three different physiographic settings 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
M. Aziz Hasan K. Matin Ahmed Ondra Sracek Prosun Bhattacharya Mattias von Brömssen Sandra Broms Johan Fogelström M. Lutful Mazumder Gunnar Jacks 《Hydrogeology Journal》2007,15(8):1507-1522
Occurrences of arsenic (As) in the Bengal Basin of Bangladesh show close relationships with depositional environments and sediment textures. Hydrochemical data from three sites with varying physiography and sedimentation history show marked variations in redox status and dissolved As concentrations. Arsenic concentration in groundwater of the Ganges Flood Plain (GFP) is characteristically low, where high Mn concentrations indicate redox buffering by reduction of Mn(IV)-oxyhydroxides. Low DOC, \( {\text{HCO}}^{ - }_{3} \), \( {\text{NH}}^{ + }_{4} \) and high \( {\text{NO}}^{ - }_{3} \) and \( {\text{SO}}^{{2 - }}_{4} \) concentrations reflect an elevated redox status in GFP aquifers. In contrast, As concentration in the Ganges Delta Plain (GDP) is very high along with high Fe and low Mn. In the Meghna Flood Plain (MFP), moderate to high As and Fe concentrations and low Mn are detected. Degradation of organic matter probably drives redox reactions in the aquifers, particularly in MFP and GDP, thereby mobilising dissolved As. Speciation calculations indicate supersaturation with respect to siderite and vivianite in the groundwater samples at MFP and GDP, but groundwater in the GFP wells is generally supersaturated with respect to rhodochrosite. Values of log PCO2 at MFP and GDP sites are generally higher than at the GFP site. This is consistent with Mn(IV)-redox buffering suggested at the GFP site compared to Fe(III)-redox buffering at MFP and GDP sites. 相似文献

High groundwater demand in the Great Metropolitan Area (GMA) of Costa Rica, combined with the presence of many septic systems, imposes the necessity to define adequate dimensions for setback distances or protection zones around wellheads to prevent contamination of aquifers by pathogenic organisms. Numerical 3-D simulations of transport of viruses under natural hydrogeological conditions of the northwest section of GMA were performed, considering both porous and fractured porous media with variable saturation. Based on the sensitivity analysis, principal transport parameters for the conditions in the study area are injection concentration, hydraulic conductivity, inactivation rate and attachment rate. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of the arrival of viruses to the water table and the modeling domain’s boundary was carried out using two approaches: maximum permissible concentration criteria and travel time criteria (TT) of 100 days frequently applied in Costa Rica for fractured rocks aquifers. The analysis indicates that under conditions of low mobility and high removal rates (typical for soils of volcanic origin), the TT approach overestimates the dimension of the protection zone. On the other hand, when conditions of high mobility and low removal rate are considered, the TT approach usually underestimates that dimension. It is recommended to perform more field and laboratory studies to obtain better representative parameters for soils of volcanic origin. 相似文献

Anomalous drip in the Punkva caves (Moravian Karst): relevant implications for paleoclimatic proxies 下载免费PDF全文
The anomalous drip in the Punkva caves (Moravian Karst) shows specific hydrogeochemical properties such as low SIcalcite ~ 0.14 ± 0.11 (standard deviation), low mineralization (4.53 ± 0.42) × 10?3 mol l?1, and enhanced values of δ13C (?7.85 to ?8.35‰ VPDB), Mg/Ca × 1000 ratio (45.7 ± 3.3), and Sr/Ca × 1000 ratio (0.65 ± 0.06). By these properties, the anomalous drip significantly differs from other regular drips in the same cave and other caves in the region. The study suggests that the anomalous drip properties are a consequence of prior calcite precipitation or/and water mixing along the water flow path. As the former processes are spatially controlled, the knowledge of dripwater flow path seems to be necessary for correct paleoclimatic/paleoenvironmental reconstructions.
