Abstract

Abstract

Acid mine drainage (AMD) can contribute to deterioration of the receiving water quality, accelerate the dissolution of carbonate rocks, leading to the release of CO₂, which poses a wide range of hazards. Combined with the hydrogeological setting, hydrochemical and isotopic methods are employed to investigate the sources and migration mechanisms of pollutants in surface and groundwater of the Mamian mining area in Guilin, China. Results show that: (1) the chemical composition of surface water and groundwater mainly came from the weathering of carbonate and silicate rock, as well as the oxidation of sulfide, and Ca-HCO₃ was the main water type in the study area, while some sites affected by AMD and domestic sewage wastewater changed to Ca-HCO₃·SO₄ and Ca·(K+Na)-HCO₃ types; (2) sulfur and oxygen isotopes indicate that sulfide, rainwater and sewage were the three main SO₄^2- sources for sampled surface-ground waters; and (3) changes in hydrochemical and isotopic composition indicate that the influence of AMD on surface water and groundwater gradually decreased along the flow directions, affecting to approximately 13.5 km and 1.5 km downstream, respectively. This study not only revealed the negative impact of AMD and human activities on the waters, provided basic data for the protection of water resources for the studied mine area. At the same time, the combination of isotope and water chemistry is proved to be an effective means to study the migration and transformation of pollutants in mining area, which provides a new idea for the study of pollutants in other mining areas.
