Analysis on the Hydrochemical Characteristics,Development and Utilization of Zhuoma Hot Spring in Chamdo,Xizang
This paper aims to discuss the prospects for development and utilization through the hydrochemical char-acteristics of the geothermal water from Zhuoma Hot Spring,Chaya County,Xizang.The results show that Zhuoma Hot Spring is mainly controlled by the Jitang-North Lancang River fault zone.The hydrochemical characteristics indi-cate that the underground geothermal reservoir temperature of the geothermal water ranges from 86.1 ℃ to 108℃.It is moderately to slightly acidic water,belonging to the hydrochemical type of Cl·HCO3-Na.The cations are mainly Na+while the anions are mainly HCO3-and Cl-.It is rich in H2BO3,F,and Li,and the salinity ranges from 1097 mg/L to 1673 mg/L,being weakly mineralized water and meeting the quality standards of medical and therapeutic thermal mineral water.The characteristic that the hot spring water is rich in various mineral components is directly related to the large circulation depth of the hot spring water,the long residence time of the water in the deep part,and the suffi-cient heat exchange.It is recommended to carry out comprehensive development and utilization measures in the fields such as medical care,geothermal heating,aquaculture,and greenhouse cultivation.
