“…All vessels (a total of 60 vessels in 20 groups) were sealed with covers and stored at room temperature (at about 20 °C). The sampling time interval of the 20 groups was 1,2,3,4,7,9,11,14,17,20,23,29,35,40,45,50,60,70,80, and 90 day(s), respectively. The metasilicate in the samples (as dissolved metasilicic acid, mg/L) was determined using Silicon Molybdenum Yellow Spectrometry.…”

“…Many studies on hydrogeochemical characteristics of groundwater and on water-rock interactions have been conducted by different scholars [1][2][3][4]. Natural mineral water has attracted much attention due to its special components that are beneficial to our health [2][3][4]. Changbai Mountains is one of the three largest natural mineral water sources in the world, comparable to the Alps and the North Caucasus mountains.…”

The source of metasilicate in mineral water of Jingyu County. located in Changbai Mountains of northeastern China, was analysed through two groups of water-rock interaction experiments. One is a hydrolysis immersion experiment using basalt and the other is an immersion experiment utilizing a mixture of soil, scoria, and clastic basalt under the same conditions. Results indicate that the metasilicate in mineral water is mainly derived from the hydrolysis of silicates and silica in the basalt, scoria, and soil. In the first immersion experiment, the release of metasilicate is linear, with dissolved metasilicate increasing continuously through time at a stable release rate of about 0.01 mg/(kg·day). The second experiment indicates that the contribution of soil and scoria to metasilicate in mineral water is higher than that of clastic basalt under the same conditions.

“…The findings of Pachana et al (2012) in analyzing the dissolution generates etch in the surface of biotite and muscovite basal at different pH values (pH 1.1, 3.3, and 5.7) and different temperatures (T = 2.5, 120, and 200°C) were very important, as he concluded that dissolution regime changes with pH values and temperatures. Skopljak and Vlahović (2012) wrote about the genesis of mineral waters in Kiseljak surroundings, and pointed out that the water origin from atmospheric and water descends in the primary aquifer where it becomes enriched with CO 2 and minerals. The source of elements in mineral water mainly generated in the reaction with groundwater and surrounding rocks (Shen and Zhou 1987;Zhou 1992;Ai et al 1998;Zhang et al 1999).…”

Mineral dissolution reactions actively participate in controlling the composition of mineral water. In this study, water soluble, acidic-alkaline and carbonated solution experiments were designed, and mineral reaction mechanisms were researched using chemical kinetics and the minimum free-energy method. The results showed that the release of metasilicate was controlled by pH, CO 2 , and rock characteristics. In the water soluble experiment, the release process of metasilicate in powdered rocks reached equilibrium after 40 days, while metasilicate in solid rocks took 170 days. The release process of metasilicate in solid rocks satisfied an asymptotic model, while in powdered rocks it accorded with the Stanford reaction kinetic model. In the acidic-alkaline experiment, metasilicate was released earlier under acidic conditions (2.46 \ pH \ 7) than under alkaline conditions (7 \ pH \ 10.61). The release process of metasilicate under acidic conditions reached equilibrium in 40 days, compared with 60 days for alkaline conditions. The addition of CO 2 to the water solution was beneficial to the formation of metasilicate. Under neutral pH conditions, the reaction barely occurred. Under alkaline conditions, metasilicate was produced by the hydrolysis of metasilicate minerals. Under acidic and additional CO 2 conditions, metasilicate formation was mainly via the reaction of H ? , CO 2 , and metasilicate minerals. From these results, we concluded that the metasilicate mineral water from the Changbai Mountains, Jingyu County, is generated by a combination of the hydrolysis of metasilicate minerals and the reaction of H ? , CO 2 , and metasilicate minerals. These results can contribute to a better development and protection of the mineral water resources in the Changbai Mountains.
