🧪 The “Oversaturation Illusion” in Kryvbas Mine Waters

While modeling Kryvbas water chemistry (R + PHREEQC), I found a fundamental issue in how saturation is often evaluated.

We usually calculate calcite equilibrium from ion concentrations — fine for fresh water.
But Kryvbas mine waters are brines, where ionic strength and complexation dominate.

📉 Results from ~1000 samples (minteq.v4):
- Once salinity exceeds ~3 g/L, Ca²⁺ activity drops sharply.
- At 15–20 g/L, calcium activity coefficient is ≈ 0.35.

Meaning: more than half of the “calcium concentration” is inert — a dead load that cannot form precipitates.

This explains why traditional methods predicted oversaturation where the water was actually aggressive and dissolving rocks.

Modeling: PHREEQC + minteq.v4 (US EPA), Davis equation.

Today I taught water chemistry to the UNSW "Earth's Systems and Sustainability" class. We cover Earth Science and it's role in sustainable development.

It is the one day in the year where I buy a bottle of water, and ask the class to do the same (not susat in nable, I know). We use the water chemistry on the labels to understand the relationship between chemistry and the water source.

And we cover the unsustainability of the bottled water industry, and its impacts on meeting the Sustainable Development Goal 6 (clean water and sanitation).

This year that was made easier by a UN report released two weeks ago, and summarized here:

https://theconversation.com/how-the-bottled-water-industry-is-masking-the-global-water-crisis-201756

This is a global league table you do not want to be top of, and Australia is second worst globally, and the Asia-Pacific the largest users of bottled water. Time to do better....

Hi, my name is Lucy, and I recently completed my master's degree in #geosciences at #tugraz and will soon start my PhD. My previous project was a one-year investigation of lake #waterchemistry and chalk deposition at the #Weissensee freshwater lake in Carinthia (#Austria). I am interested in water and #elementalcycles, #mineralformation, #oceanography and the effects of #climatechange.
