The Main Features of the Formation and Chemical Composition of the Lakes of Eastern Transbaikalia (Russia)

Abstract

The concentrations of bicarbonate, carbonate, sulphate and chloride ions grow irregularly in the conditions of an arid climate due to the evaporation of lake water. Basically, in the lake waters, the concentrations of carbonate complexes (НСО3-+СО32-) and chloride ions (Cl-) increase. The accumulation of sulphate (SO42-) does not happen, mainly as a result of bacterial reduction. The rapid growth of НСО3-+СО32- is also associated with this process. The chloride ion content increases with increasing salinity, as well as because no geochemical barriers exist to hinder its accumulation. As a result, soda or chloride-soda lakes are generally formed in the considered territory. Sulphate lakes are extremely rare.
