| Abstract | Groundwater sampling was accomplished in the basaltic sequence of the Rhön mountain range, Germany, in order to investigate hydrochemical groundwater evolution and to delineate mineral alteration reactions involved in natural weathering. The hydrochemical compositions of near-surface groundwaters indicate a Ca/Mg–HCO3 type with near-neutral pH and evolve to a Na–HCO3 type with high pH at greater depth. Column experiments were performed with basaltic and phonolitic rock samples to determine individual mineral alteration reactions. The basic reactions could be related to the alteration of olivine, Ca-pyroxene, plagioclase, pyrrhotite, and feldspathoids under formation of secondary clay minerals (smectites, illite) and goethite. The mineral alteration reactions deduced from the leaching experiments by inverse modelling were found to be consistent with the mineral reactions associated with the natural groundwaters. The reactions calculated for groundwater evolution involve the alteration of primary and secondary minerals to produce low-T mineral phase. The conversion of secondary Na-beidellite to illite occurs at a later stage of groundwater evolution, reducing the concentrations of K+ and Mg2+. Near-surface groundwaters do not indicate significant cation exchange. Initial cation exchange requires elevated pH values, with Mg2+ removed from solution preferred to Ca2+. Na-alkalisation of the groundwaters at greater depth suggests the exchange of Na+ for Mg2+ and Ca2+ on Na-beidellite, supported by cation exchange on coatings of iron hydroxides as alteration products. Among the mature high-pH groundwater at greater depth, the dissolution of anorthite and albite has significant effect on groundwater composition. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
