ABSTRACT
Years mining activities have changed the distribution characteristics of groundwater hydrochemical
field, which may lead to the deterioration of groundwater quality and the occurrence of mine water inrush
disasters. The study of groundwater hydrogeochemical evolution can provide a theoretical basis for the
prevention of mine water inrush disaster and the rational utilization and protection of groundwater.
Using the Piper trigram, Person correlation analysis matrix, Gibbs diagram, ion proportion coefficient
diagram, and mineral saturation index to study the hydrogeochemical evolution mechanism of Taiyuan
Formation limestone water before grouting (2010) and after grouting (2020) in this study. The results
show that the concentrations of anion and cation in the limestone water of Taiyuan Formation have
the same change trend before and after grouting in the study area, the anion concentration changes to
SO42- >HCO3- >Cl-, the cation concentration changes to Na++K+>Ca2+>Mg2+. The correlation coefficient
between most ions of limestone water after grouting is reduced. The hydrogeochemical type is gradually
transformed from Na++K+-SO42- type to Mg2+-SO42- type and Ca2+-SO42- type. Rock weathering and
cation exchange are the main factors affecting the hydrogeochemical characteristics of limestone water.
The higher concentration of SO42- is related to the dissolution of gypsum and the oxidation of pyrite.
