Removal of physical information chemistry of spa that is utilizing geothermal water in Ecuador

Abstract:

Volcanic activity in Ecuador is the result of subduction of the Nazca Plate and South American Plate. The country has around six volcanoes, many of them active or potentially active. Because of this volcanic activity, Ecuador has a vast wealth of geothermal sources. The purpose of this research is to build physical information - chemistry to classify these springs according to their composition and health influence. The temperature values obtained vary between 18 ̊C and 62 ̊C, the pH between 4.96 and 8.3, the values of electrical conductivity between 166.9 μS.cm-1 and 20220 μS.cm-1 and dry residue values between 208 μS.cm-1 and evaporated water 11208 mg L-1. Waters such as Guapán, Jamanco, El Salado (spring), El Salado (pool), La Virgen, Oyacachi Cununyacu, Chachimbiro 1, Chachimbiro 2 baths, Cuenca called for the development of new studies by high values in temperature, electrical conductivity …
