Chemical and isotopic characterization of the thermal waters of Hammam Skhouna Algeria

Journal Title: Journal of New technology and Materials - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2

Abstract

A series of chemical and isotopic analyses (O-18 and H-2) of aquifers performed in the Hammam Sokhna area, a large sedimentary basin located in southern Setif, filled with Mio-Plio-Quaternary deposits, which rest on Jurassic and Cretaceous limestones, show that the superficial water table made up of thermal waters regroups waters with the most impoverished isotopic signatures. The recharge is ensured by meteoric water with an altitude effect. The recharge of groundwater moving in carbonate, karstified formations is ensured by meteoric water that underwent a slight evaporitic loss. The binary diagrams show that the water mineralisation is controlled by mineral dissolution-precipitation processes and by cation exchange.
