    Objective

    There is limited research on the sources of strontium elementand the potential for the development and utilization of karst water in the large−scale strontium rich mineral water field in Xintian County, Hunan Province. Exploring the hydrochemical characteristics of strontium−rich karst water and the sources of strontium element can provide theoretical support for searching for strontium rich groundwater in karst areas.

    Methods

    PHREEQC software, water stoichiometry, end element method and hydrogeological parameters were used in this study to reveal the mineral saturation index characteristicsof strontium−rich karst water, as well as the sources of Sr2+ and SO42− and its development potential through the hydrogeological investigation and hydrochemical testson groundwater in this strontium−rich mineral water field.

    Results

    Calcite is mainly saturated both in the springs and shafts, while dolomite changes from unsaturated in the springs to saturate in the shafts. Strontium is saturated in the shafts, and gypsum is unsaturated both in the springs and the shafts. In the springs, mineral saturation index increases with the total dissolved solids, and they areof a good positive correlation, but of a poor correlation in the shafts. The correlation of SO42− betweenthe springs and shaftsare positive. According to the stoichiometric relation of Ca2+, Mg2+, Sr2+, HCO3 and SO42−, SO42− in the shafts may come from gypsum dissolution. The Sr2+ in the springsare mainly derived from strontium which replaces calcium with isomorphism in limestone, while Sr2+ in the shafts probably come from strontium siderite in the aquifer. 85.2% of the groundwatersamplings in the research area meet the national standard for drinking water quality, and the excess water samplings are mostly single indicator exceeding the standard. Through calculation, the natural recharge resources, exploitable resources and groundwater resource potential of strontium−rich groundwater in dry years are 3.83×107 m3/a、1.05×107 m3/a、7.28×106 m3/a respectively.

    Conclusions

    Strontium in the strontium−rich groundwater in Xintian County is mainly derived from the dissolution of strontium−containing minerals in Shetianqiao Formation strata of Devonian. Those minerals, including strontianite, were form by isomorphicly substitute of calcium with strontium. The amount and resource potential of strontium−rich groundwater are considerable, with a great value for development and utilization.
