Arsenic-realising hydrogeochemical processes in the Claromecó creek basin, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina

A hydrogeochemical study was performed in the Claromecó Creek basin, Buenos Aires province. This region is featured by groundwaters with arsenic (As) concentrantions that exceed the allowed provincial limit of 50 ppb. Based on the chemical analysis of samples distributed all along the basin and extr...

description A hydrogeochemical study was performed in the Claromecó Creek basin, Buenos Aires province. This region is featured by groundwaters with arsenic (As) concentrantions that exceed the allowed provincial limit of 50 ppb. Based on the chemical analysis of samples distributed all along the basin and extracted from shallowest Pampean aquifer, the main hydrogeochemical processes were addressed. Such processes were interpreted mainly from bivariate plots and multivariate analysis. Samples were divided into three groups. Group 1 is the one with the lowest concentrations of As whereas group 2 is characterized por high As concentrations, high pH and low concentrations of Na+ y HCO3-. Finally, group 3 also presents high As contents but lower pH and high values of Na+ y HCO3-. The processes that promote the release of As from the sediments in this aquifers were interpreted as the counter-ion effect, the competitive desorption by HCO3- and the ionic strength. These processes act with different intensity in different parts of the basin but simultaneously. This fact confirms the complexity of studying As release in this type of environment.

Se realizó un estudio hidrogeoquímico regional en la cuenca del Arroyo Claromecó, Provincia de Buenos Aires. Esta región se caracteriza por la presencia de aguas subterráneas con concentraciones de arsénico (As) que exceden, incluso, el límite provincial de 50 ppb establecido por la ley 11820. A partir de análisis químicos de las muestras tomadas a lo largo de toda la cuenca del acuífero Pampeano, se interpretaron los principales procesos hidrogeoquímicos actuantes. Dicha interpretación se realizó a partir de diferentes gráficos bivariados complementados con análisis multivariados, de lo cual se desprendió la siguiente agrupación de muestras: el grupo 1 quedó conformado por aquellas muestras con bajas concentraciones de As, mientras que el grupo 2 se caracteriza por altas concentraciones de As, altos pH pero bajos valores de Na+ y HCO3-. Finalmente, el grupo 3 también presenta altas concentraciones de As, acompañado de altos niveles de Na+ y HCO3-, pero bajos pH. Se interpretó que los principales procesos que intervienen en la liberación de As son el efecto de contra-ion, la desorción competitiva con HCO3- y la fuerza iónica. Estos procesos actúan de manera desigual en las diferentes partes de la cuenca pero en forma simultánea, lo que sigue confirmando la complejidad de la movilidad del As en el agua subterránea del acuífero Pampeano.
