Abstract

This presentation documents hydrogeochemistry and arsenic concentration in 23 groundwater samples from Chelpu area in north of Kashmar (NE Iran), one of volcano-hosted hydrothermal systems from the Eocene volcanic activities, in an attempt to identify the environmental conditions and mineral-solution reactions governing arsenic aqueous cycling. An intense zone of hydrothermal alteration is present in the Paleogene sedimentary rocks. Argillic type of alteration along with jarosite, alunite, montmorillonite and kaolinite has developed as products of this intense alteration process. Associated minerals are stibnite, realgar, orpiment, pyrite and quartz. Water quality index (WQI) for studied samples indicate low quality of the waters for drinking.
