Rare earth element (REE) concentrations were measured by ICP-MS for groundwater collected from deep seated Taiyuan Fm limestone aquifer (from −400 to −530 m) in Renlou Coal Mine, northern Anhui Province, China. It can be concluded that the groundwater is warm (34.0−37.2 °C) Cl-Ca, Na type water with circum-neutral pH (7.35−8.28) and high total dissolved solids (TDS, 1 746−2 849 mg/L). The groundwater exhibits heavy REEs enrichment relative to light REEs compared with Post Archean Average Shale (PAAS), as well as their aquifer rocks (limestone). The enrichment of REEs is considered to be controlled by terrigeneous materials (e.g. zircon) in aquifer rocks, whereas the fractionation of REEs is controlled by marine derived materials (e.g. calcite), to a less extent, terrigeneous materials and inorganic complexation. The Ce anomalies normalized to PAAS and aquifer rocks are weak, which probably reflects the signature of the aquifer rock rather than redox conditions or pH. The similarities of REE patterns between groundwater and aquifer rocks imply that aquifer rocks play important roles in controlling the REE characteristics of groundwater, and then provide a probability for discrimination of groundwater sources by using REEs.

“…The major forms of REE were suspended in the mainstream, and dissolved in the tributaries (Tables 2, 3). The behavior of REE in natural waters is complex, since various mechanisms such as the formation of aqueous complexes and adsorption to colloids will cause fractionation in solution and at the solution/solid interphase (Rönnback et al 2008). The adsorption of REE on particulates was deeply influenced by pH, and alkalescence condition was propitious to the adsorption (He et al 2004).…”

This paper analyses the contents and species distributions of rare earth elements (REEs) in the water-suspended particulate-sediment system of the Baotou section of the Yellow River, China, with known anthropogenic REE input from industrial discharges. The major forms of REEs were suspended and dissolved in the mainstream and the tributaries of the Baotou section, respectively. The concentrations of the dissolved and suspended REEs had the same trends in the overlying water along the mainstream, which increased from the Seqi section (site A) to the mouth of the Sidaosha River (site D), reaching a maximum value at site D, and tending to decrease thereafter. The contents of REEs in sediment cores showed enrichment with light rare earth elements (LREEs). The bound to carbonates and to Fe-Mn oxides are the major forms of REE in the secondary phase and the REE exhibited LREE enrichment pattern and moderate Eu depletion in suspended particulates and surface sediments. The contents and species distributions of REEs in the water-suspended particulate-sediment system of the Baotou section suggest that the anthropogenic source of REEs from Baotou city have enhanced REE accumulation to the Baotou section. This information is important for predicting possible pollution resulting from anthropogenic REE input into rivers.

“…The hydrogeochemistry of REEs in groundwater has been studied in terms of their usefulness as tracers for various geochemical processes such as water-rock interactions and hydrothermal activity. REEs are known to have high affinities for colloids owing to their large ionic potential (ionic charge/ionic radius) [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. However, the interaction between colloids and REEs is not well understood.…”
