キーワード:地表水、地熱地域、北八甲田火山群
Understanding the chemical evolution of thermal surface water (25 °C or higher) during passage from the geothermal reservoir to the surface in a geothermal area is important for assessing subsurface conditions from surface water composition and for evaluating the potential for geothermal utilization. Many studies have assessed the chemistry of thermal surface water in geothermal areas. However, little research has been done on the chemical properties of cold surface water (less than 25 °C) in geothermal areas, even when the cold surface water has a hydrogen sulfide odor. Thus, the importance of understanding the chemical evolution of cold surface water in geothermal areas for assessing subsurface conditions from surface water composition and evaluating the potential for geothermal utilization remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to understand the chemical evolution of cold surface water with a hydrogen sulfide odor in a geothermal area, the western area of Iwodake, North Hakkoda volcanoes.
We performed on-site measurements of pH, electrical conductivity, oxidation–reduction potential, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and Fe2+ and S2– concentrations of the cold surface water with a hydrogen sulfide odor. Sampled water was analyzed in a laboratory for Li+, Na+, NH4+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, CH3COO–, HCOO–, F–, Cl–, Br–, NO3–, SO42–, Fe, Mn, B, Si, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), δ18O, and δ2H. The results suggested that the cold surface water may be affected by HCl volcanic gas as it has high Cl– and SO42– concentrations. Ongoing work is focused on analysis using PHREEQC and calculation of the effective energy of microorganisms.
