ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBONS IN CARBONIC MINERAL AND NITROGEN THERMAL WATERS OF WESTERN TRANSBAIKALIA

Abstract

: The article considers the formation of the composition of organic substances depending on the tempera-ture and gas composition of fractured-vein waters. It has been established that almost all organic matter in the studied fissure-vein waters is represented by aliphatic hydrocarbons. It has been suggested that in intrusive rocks the organic matter in the form of bitumen, under the influence of carbon dioxide, elevated temperature, the supply of oxygen with streams of cold water is gradually oxidized. As a result, its solubility in water increases. The change in the forms of migration of organic substances affects the migration activity of heavy metals and rare earth elements.
