HYDROGEOCHEMICAL STUDIES
We develop hydrogeochemical studies and provide solutions regarding water quality. These are carried out through physical-chemical characterization, identifying the water-rock interaction processes, for example: ionic exchange and precipitation; In addition, the mixing processes between waters of different origins (relating residence times, distance traveled, mineralogical characteristics of the geological environment), as well as effluents and discharges in the receiving body.
- Geochemical characterization (static and kinetic tests) for ARD and LM prediction and cuttings separation.
- Hydrogeochemical characterization to identify redox reactions, mixtures, rock-water interaction and other processes that influence water quality.
- Dating of groundwater using 3H and 14C.
- Determination of the origin of water and solutes (natural or anthropogenic) and transport processes, based on hydrogeochemical and isotopic analyses.
- Application of hydrogeochemistry and isotopy for the study of geothermometry.
- Identification and quantification of mixtures in groundwater and surface water.
