Abstract:
Coal mining drainage(CMD)is dominant dissolved sulfate(SO2-4)source in river system; however, the impacts of CMD on riverine SO2-4 in the Loess Plateau are still unclear. The SO2-4 in CMD is primarily derived from coal-bearing pyrite oxidation and sulfate in fissure groundwater buried around the coal-bearing strata, and the SO2-4 in surface water is affected by variable anthropogenic activities. Hence the hydrochemical compositions, sulfate sulfur and oxygen isotope values(δ34SSO4 and δ18OSO4), and water hydrogen and oxygen isotope values(δDH2O and δ18OH2O)are different in CMD and surface waters, and these characteristics could solve the impacts of CMD on riverine SO2-4. The Kuye river was selected due to the obvious CMD effects on river water hydrochemistry. Water samples were collected in the Kuye river basin, including river water, groundwater, CMD, atmospheric precipitation and spring water; and the sulfate δ34SSO4 and δ18OSO4, water δDH2O and δ18OH2O, and the hydrochemistry of water samples were analyzed to uncover the impacts of CMD on riverine SO2-4 in the Kuye river and watershed coal mine water. Bayesian isotope mixing model(BIMM)was used to calculate the contribution ratios of CMD on riverine sulfate. The results show that SO2-4 concentrations, δ34SSO4 and δ18OSO4 values in CMD range from 0.07 to 1 206.45 mg?L-1 with a mean value of 231.91 mg?L-1, from -2.7‰ to 32.9‰ with a mean value of 11.4‰, and from -5.5‰ to 11.6‰ with an average of 4.3‰. The Kuye river water has SO2-4 concentrations varying from 73.23 to 171.83 mg?L-1 with an average of 113.94 mg?L-1, δ34SSO4 values from 4.3‰ to 13.0‰ with a mean value of 10.4‰, and δ18OSO4 values from -2.9‰ to 5.1‰ with a mean value of 3.0‰, respectively. These average δ34SSO4 and δ18OSO4 values have no significant difference between CMD and Kuye river water(p>0.05); the average SO2-4 concentration of CMD is different from that of Kuye river water; the results of BIMM show that the contributions of CMD to riverine SO2-4 are 30.3%±18.9% in the upstream Wulanmulun river, and 12.5%±10.2% in the downstream Kuye river water. Meanwhile, the SO2-4 in CMD is also affected by both overlying fissure water, which contributes 34.6%±16.5% sulfate to CMD, and Kuye river water, which contributes 18.8%±16.5% sulfate to CMD. Combined with sulfur and oxygen isotopic compositions, the SO2-4 sources in CMD and their impacts on riverine SO2-4 in the Kuye river basin have been well confirmed, which also provide the evidences of CMD on riverine SO2-4 in the Yellow River Basin through the Loess Plateau.
