Geochemistry of Iron in Organogenic Water of Western Siberia, Russia

In the central part of Western Siberia a study of the chemical composition of bog water was conducted. Bog water contains high concentrations of iron and organic matter. By means of thermodynamic methods were calculate the equilibrium of bog water with the major minerals. It was shown, that bog water is in equilibrium with kaolinite, vivianite, α-apatite. Primary aluminium minerals are undersaturated and release iron and other elements, to which a bog water are not at equilibrium and which is dissolve actively.
