西昆仑地区苦水湖富锂盐湖水化学特征及成盐元素来源

苦水湖是近年来在青藏高原西昆仑山腹地新发现的富锂盐湖,查明其水化学组成特征对丰富青藏高原盐湖型锂矿床基础资料具有重要的现实意义.然而受区域自然地理条件限制,对包含该盐湖卤水及补给水系的基础性研究还很少.综合运用Piper三线图、Gibbs图解和离子比例关系分析方法探讨了湖表卤水及湖周补给水系水化学组成、演化及主要离子来源.结果表明,由"补给源"到"汇",各离子组成发生了显著变化,水化学类型由碳酸钙镁型向硫酸钠亚型过渡转变,水化学的演化由岩石风化控制向蒸发结晶控制演变.根据离子比例关系,识别出3个主要离子来源:东北径流补给以碳酸盐岩、硅酸岩风化溶质来源为主;南部甜水海水系以盐岩溶解补给为主;湖周冷泉中的溶质则可能主要来自于同生沉积卤水与浅层地下水混合,或长英质火山岩、碳酸盐岩等的深部水-岩作用淋滤.      

Impact of tunneling on regional groundwater flow and implications for swelling of clay–sulfate rocks

Tunnels play a key role in many transportation concepts. The swelling of clay–sulfate rocks leads to serious damage to many tunnels crossing such rock, producing great difficulties and high extra costs in tunnel engineering. The swelling is caused by the transformation of the sulfate mineral anhydrite into gypsum, entailing a 60% volume increase. The transformation involves anhydrite dissolution in water, transport of the solution with groundwater flow, and gypsum precipitation at a different location. Therefore, the knowledge of groundwater flow systems at the tunnel and adjacent areas is essential to better understand the swelling processes. The present study investigates the groundwater flow systems at the Chienberg tunnel in Switzerland before and after the tunnel excavation, based on numerical flow modeling. The models include faults and the hydrostratigraphic layering in the subsurface to assess the role of the hydrogeological setting. The results of this study indicate effects on groundwater flow caused by the tunneling, which may trigger rock swelling by favoring anhydrite dissolution and gypsum precipitation, including (1) increase of flow rates around the tunnel, (2) broadened, shifted and more distributed capture zones leading to a change in origin and age of groundwater, (3) access of groundwater from preferential flow paths (e.g. faults) due to the drainage effect of the tunnel, and (4) change in geochemical equilibrium conditions because of decreased pore water pressures in the tunnel area.     

南京石膏矿特大突水灾害机理研究

发生于2006年9月11日的南京石膏矿特大突水灾害不仅改变了矿区及外围的地下水流场, 并引发了矿区地面沉降变形, 对地表附属物产生了一定的破坏作用, 造成了包括矿山关闭在内的巨大财产损失。南京石膏矿涉及典型的深部矿山地质工程问题, 影响地下开采稳定、矿山灾害和环境问题的主要因素是矿体及围岩的岩性结构及岩体结构构造, 特别是断裂构造及其影响带裂隙发育情况、富水性、导水率。围岩的岩溶强烈富水带的存在是矿坑突水的直接水源; 矿体的软岩特性、矿山开采扰动使采场周围的应力场重新分布、开采对断裂构造及裂隙带等结构体的活化作用都加剧了突水灾害的发生。     

The impact of salt diapirs on the quality of carbonate karst waters,Bastak, Iran

The Gavbast karstic aquifer located in southern Iran is in direct contact with an exposed salt diapir. To assess the influence of the diapir on the quality of groundwater in the karstic aquifer, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, flow rate, temperature and major ion concentrations were measured at 57 sampling sites, including springs, surface waters and wells. A conceptual model of groundwater flow is proposed for the Gavbast karstic aquifer based on the geological setting, water budget, local base of erosion, and hydrochemistry of the sampling sites. The model suggests two subbasins in the Gavbast Anticline draining into two distinct discharging alluvial sections. Unexpectedly, groundwater discharging from the carbonate Gavbast aquifer is saline or brackish and water is of chloride type. The study indicates that the source of salinity of the Gavbast aquifers is infiltration of surface diapir-derived brine into the aquifer. The contribution of the diapir brine in the Gavbast karst aquifer is calculated about 4 L/s, using chloride mass balance. Construction of salt basins to evaporate brine discharging from the diapir springs is proposed to reduce the salinity of karst water. A row of strategically placed wells in the Gavbast karst aquifer would potentially exploit large volumes of fresh groundwater before it is contaminated by the salt. Such low-cost remediation should allow the agricultural exploitation of 40 km² of currently barren land.     

Integrating hydrochemical and microbial methods to identify hydraulic connections between three saltworks in southern Laizhou Bay,China

Exploring hydraulic connections between brine mining wells is of great significance to the development of geological resources; however, there are still challenges to accurately identifying these connections. In this study, a combination of hydrochemical and biological analyses was used to investigate the hydraulic connections between three saltworks (Yangkou, Hanting, and Changyi) in southern Laizhou Bay, China. The results showed that the groundwater recharge sources at Yangkou saltworks, and therefore the associated salts and hydrochemical composition of the brine, were different from those of the other two saltworks. The diversity and composition of the microbial community among the three saltworks were identified based on a high-throughput DNA sequencing method. The brines of Hanting and Changyi saltworks had greater similarity in terms of microbial diversity and composition, which was consistent with the hydrochemical results. Based on microbial analysis combined with hydrochemistry, the depths of the mining wells at Hanting saltworks were identified, along with the hydraulic connection with Changyi saltworks. As a tool to judge the hydraulic connections of geological reservoirs, microbial analysis combined with hydrochemistry may be applicable to a wider range of subsurface resources, such as oil and gas, which will provide new ideas for the rational development of underground resources.

     

Halogens in water from the crystalline basement of the Gotthard rail base tunnel (central Alps)

Drilling of the new Gotthard rail base tunnel (central Alps) opened a large number of water-conducting fractures in granite and gneiss of the crystalline basement. The overburden reaches locally more than 2000 m and water and rock temperature is up to 45 °C. The tunnel crosses a series of steeply dipping fractured rock units that also crop out at the surface above the tunnel. Recharge water enters the fractured rocks in the high mountainous area, migrates gravity driven to the sampling locality in the tunnel. Along its flow path it reacts with rocks exposed on the fractures where it dissolves the principal granite minerals, resulting in high-pH Na₂CO₃ waters.The tunnel waters contain unusually high concentrations of fluoride ranging from 5 to 29 mg/L. Alteration of F-bearing biotite to F-free chlorite is one of the sources of fluorine. The highest F-concentrations result from the equilibration of low-Ca waters with fluorite. Fluoride concentration is strongly lithology-dependent and sharp discontinuities in both, concentration and saturation state with respect to fluorite occur at the contacts of the different gneiss and granite slabs.Chloride concentrations vary between 1 and 1300 mg/L. In contrast, the Cl/Br mass ratio exhibits small variations and centers around 110 suggesting a common source for the Cl and Br, which is independent of the lithology. In the northern part of the tunnel, Cl and Br are chiefly derived from saline pore fluids of one lithology which is then mixed with low-salinity water along flow paths. Cl/Br ratios of the waters in the southern part of the tunnel section are similar to those measured in experimental leachates from different tunnel rocks, suggesting that leaching of metamorphic fluids in the pore space is the main source of both Cl and Br.     

Saline groundwaters in the hercynian granites (Chardon Mine,France): geochemical evidence for the salinity origin

In this study, the chemical evolution of high Cl⁻ Chardon mine groundwaters is modelled as a mixing between an oxidising recharge and an old marine component on which the water–rock interaction is superimposed. Chemical and isotopic similarities with saline Carnmenellis mine groundwaters are emphasised and a general comparison with other brines is discussed.The cation content of deep granitic groundwaters is indicative of the water–rock interaction. In the case of Chardon and Carnmenellis groundwaters, the high Na/Cl ratio can still be related to the contribution of a brine of sedimentary origin to the water salinity. The differences in the hydrochemistry related to their geological context only appears at the trace metals level. On the contrary, brines in plutonic rocks which exhibit a low Na/Cl ratio represent groundwaters having a residence time in the host rock, long enough to equilibrate with secondary aluminosilicates. In that case, the brine origin is difficult to assess if only based on the water cation content.     

大坂山隧道地下水动态分析及对隧道作用评估

Base on the groundwater yield, water temperature and hydrochemistry change of the groundwater, we can analyze that the summer water content is obviously greater than winter water content where the in and-out wall rock of the Daban Mountain tunnel. The groundwater supply has the extensity and the seasonality. The groundwater content of the middle tunnel wall rock changes relatively steady, mainly supply through horizontal direction. And the total groundwater content is relatively little and steady in winter. The water pressure of the wall rock cranny is little. It has the fluent drainage system to dredge groundwater, which cannot constitute a threat to the tunnel lining. And the cold-proof sluice hole can normally work to drain water.     

Study of the hydrogeological characteristics and permeability of the Xinli Seabed Gold Mine in Laizhou Bay,Jiaodong Peninsula,China

This paper presents a case study investigation into the hydrogeological characteristics and permeability of rock mass in a seabed mine. Following an introduction to the geology and hydrogeological conditions in the Xinli mine area, we reveal the features of the preferred structural planes, dynamic characteristics of mine water seepage, and the permeability of the fractured rock mass in the pit. The permeability of the pit rock mass shows varied characteristics at different geotectonic locations because of the different degrees to which the structural planes developed. The fractured rock mass generally shows low permeability, and the main composition of water seepage is high-salinity brine. Future large-scale undersea mining may induce rock mass movement, destroy water-resistant layers, and enhance water transmissibility and the probability of water gushing into the pit. Thus, strengthening the quality of the filling mass, protecting the stope roof and the water-resistant layers, as well as regular monitoring of water seepage discharge and identification of water sources are critical to work safety and the prevention of seawater gushing in the mine.     

Hydrochemical Dynamic Characteristics and Evolution of Underground Brine in the Mahai Salt Lake of the Qaidam Basin Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

The mineral rock salts present in the Mahai Salt Lake of the Qaidam basin exhibit high solubilities in water. In addition, the multicomponent underground brine exhibits a high salinity and is easily precipitated. In the natural state, brine transport in the brine layer is extremely slow, and the brine is in a relatively stable chemical equilibrium state with the rock salt media. However, during mining, both the seepage and the chemical fields fluctuate significantly, thereby disrupting the equilibrium and leading to variations in the chemical composition and dynamic characteristics of the brine. Therefore, we selected underground brine from the Mahai Salt Lake, collecting a total of 183 brine samples over three stages of mining (i.e., the early stage of underground brine extraction, the initial stage of mining, and the later stage of mining). Using a range of analytical techniques, the chemical dynamics of the underground brine water and its evolution were systematically studied. We found that evaporation and enrichment were the main mechanisms of underground brine evolution in the Mahai Salt Lake, with cation exchange and mineral dissolution/precipitation being key factors in determining the dynamic characteristics and evolution of the brine.     

Spatial and temporal hydrochemistry variations of karst water in Gunung Sewu,Java, Indonesia

A hydrogeochemical study was conducted in the Gunung Sewu Karst, Java Island, Indonesia. The main objective of this study is to describe the spatial and temporal variations of hydrochemistry that occur in the central and western parts of Gunung Sewu. Discharge measurements for a one-year period are taken in some karst springs or underground rivers to define their discharge hydrograph. Furthermore, baseflow separation analysis was conducted to determine the base flow percentage throughout the year. Water sampling for hydrogeochemical analysis was taken every month to represent the dry and rainy season conditions. To describe the hydrogeochemical processes, a scatter plot analysis with a small sample size was conducted. The results showed that the hydrochemistry of karst water in the study area has different characteristics spatially and temporally. Within the dry season, the dominant hydrogeochemical process is water–rock interaction (precipitation of calcite mineral), indicated by achieving the maximum level of Ca²⁺, HCO₃ ^?, electrical conductivity, base flow percentage, and SI calcite, with the lowest level of log \(P_{{{\text{CO}}_{2} }}\) in the water. In addition, the dry season hydrochemistry is characterized by a strong relationship between electrical conductivity–calcium/bicarbonate, base flow percentage-discharge, base flow percentage-SI calcite, and SI calcite-log \(P_{{{\text{CO}}_{2} }}\). Spatially, the different level of correlations between these parameters depended on the sampling location, flow recharge, and the conduit development. Conversely, in the rainy season, the hydrogeochemical process shifted from water–rock interaction to dilution of rainwater as a result of rain water supply through a conduit system channel, which is characterized by declining Ca²⁺, HCO₃ ^?, electrical conductivity, base flow percentage, and SI calcite, with the highest level of log \(P_{{{\text{CO}}_{2} }}\) in the water. The dilution of rainwater process also caused a decline in the correlation of some hydrogeochemical parameters.

Origin of brine in the Kangan gasfield: isotopic and hydrogeochemical approaches

The Kangan Permo-Triassic brine aquifer and the overlying gas reservoir in the southern Iran are located in Kangan and Dalan Formations, consisting dominantly of limestone, dolomite, and to a lesser extent, shale and anhydrite. The gasfield, 2,900 m in depth and is exploited by 36 wells, some of which produce high salinity water. The produced water gradually changed from fresh to saline, causing severe corrosion in the pipelines and well head facilities. The present research aims to identify the origin of this saline water (brine), as a vital step to manage saline water issues. The major and minor ions, as well as δ²H, δ¹⁸O and δ³⁷Cl isotopes were measured in the Kangan aquifer water and/or the saline produced waters. The potential processes causing salinity can be halite dissolution, membrane filtration, and evaporation of water. The potential sources of water may be meteoric, present or paleo-seawater. The Na/Cl and I/Cl ratios versus Cl^? concentration preclude halite dissolution. Concentrations of Cl, Na, and total dissolved solid were compared with Br concentration, indicating that the evaporated ancient seawater trapped in the structure is the cause of salinization. δ¹⁸O isotope enrichment in the Kangan aquifer water is due to both seawater evaporation and interaction with carbonate rocks. The δ³⁷Cl isotope content also supports the idea of evaporated ancient seawater as the origin of salinity. Membrane filtration is rejected as a possible source of salinity based on the hydrochemistry data, the δ¹⁸O value, and incapability of this process to dramatically enhance salinity up to the observed value of 330,000 mg/L. The overlaying impermeable formations, high pressure in the gas reservoir, and the presence of a cap rock above the Kangan gasfield, all prevent the downward flow of meteoric and Persian Gulf waters into the Kangan aquifer. The evaporated ancient seawater is autochthonous, because the Kangan brine aquifer was formed by entrapment of brine seawater during the deposition of carbonates, gypsum, and minor clastic rocks in a lagoon and sabkha environment. The reliability of determining the source of salinity in a deep complicated inaccessible high-pressure aquifer can be improved by combining various methods of hydrochemistry, isotope, hydrodynamics, hydrogeology and geological settings.     

Assessing the impact of natural and anthropogenic activities on groundwater quality in coastal alluvial aquifers of the lower Liaohe River Plain,NE China

The lower Liaohe River Plain (LRP) is an economically and ecologically important area situated on an alluvial plain, where anthropogenic activities are very intensive. Field investigations were conducted in the LRP and 15 water quality parameters surveyed at 216 wells during September and October of 2009 and 2010. These showed significant variation in the hydrochemistry of groundwater throughout the plain. A Piper plot was used to identify the major geochemical processes occurring in the entire plain. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to identify various underlying natural and anthropogenic processes that created these distinct water types. The Stuyfzand classification was used to subdivide and interpret the complex groundwater hydrochemistry of the Liaohe River delta. Five principal components (PCs) were extracted in terms of PCA, which can be invoked to explain 82% of the total variance in water quality parameters. The PCA results can be categorized by five major factors: (1) Holocene transgression and mixing; (2) surface water infiltration; (3) multi-factor processes; (4) rainfall and agricultural fertilizer contamination; and (5) Geogenic F enrichment. This study demonstrates that the great variation of groundwater hydrochemistry in the LRP should be attributed to both natural and anthropogenic processes.     

察尔汗盐湖固体钾盐溶解对溶剂注入速率响应机制研究

察尔汗盐湖浅部储卤层赋存有储量可观的固体钾盐资源, 目前正处于溶解液化开采阶段。储卤层中固体钾盐矿物溶解及储卤层结构变化特征受到溶剂注入速率控制, 但其控制机制尚不明确。本文以察尔汗盐湖浅部储卤层典型钻孔岩芯为研究对象, 通过开展室内岩芯柱渗流模拟实验, 研究岩芯在三种流速条件下储卤层渗透系数和固体钾盐矿物溶出的变化规律。结果表明: (1)随着注入溶剂速率的增大, 岩芯渗透系数呈现逐渐增大的趋势, 渗出液中钾离子浓度呈现持续减小的趋势, 但在流速改变的时间节点处, 岩芯渗透系数和其对应溶出液中钾离子浓度均出现异常增加现象。矿物的溶解引起储层孔隙度增加, 而溶剂流速的改变会导致松散盐类矿物颗粒重组。(2)储卤层岩芯固体钾盐矿物溶解受到溶剂注入速率的影响明显。注入速率增加引起矿物颗粒重组以及滞留孔隙高浓度水体释放是造成渗出液中K+浓度短暂性升高的主要原因。本次实验研究对于研究区低品位固体钾盐的水溶开采具有一定理论指导意义。

Migration of induced-infiltration stream water into nearby aquifer due to a transverse horizontal well in loess areas

Analysis of the migration paths of stream water introduced into a transverse horizontal well is important to better understand the interactions between streams and aquifers. This paper presents a method of using particle-tracking techniques to evaluate the transport of stream water that infiltrates through a transverse horizontal well that runs transverse to a stream and extends from the stream banks. By conceptualizing the horizontal well as a discrete pipe network, MODFLOW is coupled with the pipe flow equations that govern the movement of water in the horizontal well, and this coupled seepage-pipe flow model is used to calculate the transient groundwater flow field. MODPATH is then used to record the locations of each of the water particles from the interface between the stream and the aquifer. The path lines, travel times, influence zones and the production of infiltrated stream water are determined to depict the migration process. The results suggest that the infiltrated stream water that originates from different stream transects located upstream and downstream from the horizontal well has different migration characteristics, as does the infiltrated stream water coming from different locations on the same stream transect. Eventually, the pumpage of the horizontal well consists partly of the infiltrated stream water and groundwater inflow from the upstream model boundary. The groundwater enters the horizontal well through the two end segments of the horizontal well, and the infiltrated stream water enters the middle segment of the well. The pumped water is still a mixture of infiltrated stream water and groundwater, even if the pumping lasts for a long period. The hydrochemistry of the infiltrated stream water cannot be simply used to evaluate the hydrochemistry of the water pumped from a transverse horizontal well.
