Abstract

The physical and chemical modelling helped to establish the regularities of the groundwater’s composition formation in the areas of coal mines that are being abandoned. We demonstrated that the unusual features of the composition of the subsurface waters in natural and technogenic structures of Russia and Ukraine resulted from “water–rock–gas” system’s chemical processes. “Aluminosilicates–water” system consecutively produces solutions corresponding to the HCO3–Ca → HCO3–Na(Mg) → HCO3–SO4–Na(Mg) → SO4–Na(Mg) series of changes in composition, “limestone-water” system produces solutions corresponding to the HCO3–Ca → Cl–Ca series, “dolomite-water” system consecutively produces aqueous solutions of the HCO3–Mg → Cl–Mg series, and “rock salt-water” system produces acidic Cl– Na type waters. We proved that water composition of technogenic complexes is determined by the features of geological structure of sedimentary basins, relations between reaction water masses and rocks (W/R), O2 and Co2 closeness-openness of W/R system.
