Abstract

The biogeochemical processes associated with infiltration of the Danube River water in a coarse, slightly reactive aquifer are studied. Groundwater quality data show slow denitrification and reductive dissolution of Mn-oxides, possibly manganite. whether or not these processes interact is not known. A simple kinetic denitrification modeule is coupled to an equilibrium-controlled geochemical multi-component transport model. The preliminary modelling results show that the general patterns can be reproduced, however, no detailed modelling is yet possible. This requires better knowledge on the kinetic parameters, among which the amount of metabolizable organic matter. -Authors
