Diagenetic and other highly mineralized waters in the Polish Carpathians

摘要: Abstract Highly mineralized waters of different chemical types and origin occur in the flysch formations their bedrocks western part Polish Carpathians. The marine sedimentation water is not preserved, as most heaviest isotopic values are characterized by δ 18 O 2 H ranges 5–7‰ −(20–30)‰, respectively. Their related to dehydration clay minerals during burial diagenesis, with molecules completely removed released bound water. They relatively enriched Na + respect water, supposedly due release illitization smectites preferable incorporation other cations from primary brine into newly formed minerals. In some parts younger formations, i.e. Badenian sediments, brines composition close SMOW Cl − contents greatly exceeding typical value about 19.6 g/L, ultrafiltration. Most probably, was similarly chemically its initial stages. Final diagenetic depend on relationships between further ultrafiltration processes. areas, migrate surface along fault zones mix young local meteoric becoming diluted, isotope scattering mixing lines. areas independent CO flow great depths, they form chloride -rich waters. Common without near-surface occurrences change HCO 3 –Ca type for modern –Mg–Ca, –Na–Ca elevated TDS, Mg 2+ and/or old reaching even those glacial age. Bedrocks represented Mesozoic Paleozoic mudstones, sandstones carbonates, sediments. Brines usually significantly Ca comparison brines. By analogy deepest adjacent Upper Silesian Coal Basin, supposed originate paleometeoric a hot climate.
