Abstract

pH and oxidation reduction potential (ORP) values of waters in original positions (insitu) were estimated using analytical data on deep groundwaters and hot spring waters at 67 points in Japan. A predominant redox reaction at each point was thermodynamically analysed on the basis of the Gibbs reaction energy. The results showed that a redox reaction of iron sulphide / sulphate ion was estimated to be predominant at many points, and that in a pH-ORP diagram, most of the in-situ pH and ORP estimates were on an equilibrium curve between pyrite and sulphate ion. It is suggested that the in-situ groundwaters in the Tertiary sedimentary rocks in Japan could be governed with the redox reaction of the iron sulphide / sulphate ion.
