“…Field studies of low-temperature oxidation of pyrite have found small sulfur isotope fractionations between starting sulfide mineral and resulting aqueous sulfate or sulfate minerals, generally not exceeding 3& (Taylor and Wheeler, 1994;Seal and Wandless, 1997;Budakoglu and Pratt, 2005). Biologically mediated experiments involving oxidation of aqueous sulfide in neutral to alkaline conditions have documented a negative sulfate-sulfide fractionation up to approximately 14& (Toran and Harris, 1989).…”

“…Based on the above hypothesis, AtdepS data for a 16-year period (divided into yearly intervals) were analyzed. We applied the approach which has been taken in the nitrogen balance analysis already [12,13]. Because the sulfur and nitrogen ions may behave in a similar manner, we applied the same procedure to sulfur analysis.…”

“…To estimate the TotalS at the above six sites, Qs and At-depS had to be corrected for Qs and AtdepS based on the altitude because both are strongly affected by basin height. Full details of how we analyzed the altitude dependence of Qs and AtdepS are available elsewhere [12,13], but brief details of the procedure are as follows:…”

“…Mine drainage water has also been studied by many researchers. Budakoglu et al investigated the distribution of, and contamination from, sulfur-isotopes related to the Baya Pb-Zn mine in Turkey [9], while Edraki et al investigated the hydrochemistry, mineralogy and sulfur isotope geochemistry of acid mine drainage at the Mt. Morgan mine, Australia [10].…”

“…GeoS occupied large part of TotalS of relevant sites. TotalS shows variation between sites, but does not show any distinct trends as were observed in nitrogen concentrations, such as upstream sites having lower concentrations than downstream sites [12,13]. The TotalS for the Kuwajima site are particularly high, probably attributable to geological factors.…”

Quantitative analysis of the rate of geochemical weathering of sulfur (S) from sedimentary rocks (GeoS) was conducted using concentration (Cs) and discharge (Qs) data from the Tedori River and atmospheric deposition (AtdepS) in the basin. First, S fluxes were calculated using 16 years of Cs and Qs data. The annual average discharge of S (TotalS) was estimated at 8597 ton·year^-¹ (117.3 kg·ha^-¹·year^-¹). Of this, 1331 ton·year^-¹ was AtdepS (18.2 kg·ha^-¹·year^-¹) and another 7266 ton·year^-¹ was GeoS (99.1 kg·ha^-¹·year^-¹). Monthly changes in TotalS were investigated, which showed that GeoS was highest in summer, because of the air temperature, while AtdepS peaked in winter because of seasonal wind. Using Qs and AtdepS corrected for altitude, TotalS, AtdepS and GeoS were estimated at six sites, and among these sites we found that the TotalS per unit area values were random, depending on the site characteristics. In particular, the discharge from the Kuwajima site was remarkably high suggesting that the sedimentary rocks at this site had higher pyrite content than at the other sites. Finally, we also assessed the relationship between the characteristics of sedimentary rocks and GeoS in a range of rivers in the Hokuriku Region, and found that there was a close relationship between concentrations of SO₄^2- greater than 10 mg·l^-¹ and sedimentary rocks containing the pyrite group. In addition, we estimated that the influence of GeoS was present when the concentration of SO₄^2- in river water was greater than 2 - 3 mg·l^-¹ in the Hokuriku region.
