Abstract:

Based on regional hydrogeological conditions, the hydrogeochemical characteristics, water type and spatial distribution of groundwater in Sixian County,Anhui Province were analysed and discussed. According to the characteristics of hydrodynamic field under groundwater exploitation, three paths were selected to simulate. The hydrogeochemical simulation was carried out using PHREEQC, and the formation and evolution of groundwater were quantitatively analysed. The results showed that the halite, gypsum and illite were dissolved; kaolinite, quartz, dolomite, calcite, fluorite were precipitated; calcic montmorillonite did not participate in the reaction; NaX desorption or CaX2 adsorption occurred in Path Ⅰ. Halite, gypsum, illite, quartz were dissolved; calcic montmorillonite and calcite were precipitated; NaX desorption and CaX2 adsorption occurred in Path Ⅱ. Reactions of Paths Ⅰ and Ⅲ are largely the same; the difference is the presence of dolomite dissolution in Path Ⅲ. The reason for this difference may be that dolomite dissolution is affected by precipitation CO2 and precipitation hysteresis in groundwater runoff. The results show that the groundwater composition is mainly influenced by dissolution of rock salt and gypsum, Ca-Na ionic exchange and calcic montmorillonite, calcite in groundwater mining conditions of Sixian County.
