🔬 Metasomatic Zonation as a Model of Groundwater Contamination
One of the key theoretical bases in my research is the classical metasomatic zonation model (Korzhinskii, 1960s).
I interpret the contamination halo formed by mine waters not as passive dispersion — but as an active metasomatic system, where aggressive fluids drive alteration and re-precipitation reactions within the carbonate aquifer.
Highly mineralized mine waters create a complex interaction front.
Thermodynamic modeling (based on well-monitoring data) allows identification of several geochemical zones partly analogous to Korzhinskii’s metasomatic sequence.📊 The image shows my preliminary zoning concept.
📘 All calculations and hypotheses are detailed in the draft monograph:
