Abstract
Chemical processes in a natural fresh-/seawater mixing zone were studied in a
shallow sandy aquifer. The dominant redox-processes are sulfate reduction and
methanogenesis. Methanogenesis produces CO2, which causes calcite dissolution. The
produced calcium induces ion exchange with sodium. The final result of these
interactions between different types of geochemical processes is an anoxic
groundwater enriched in bicarbonate and sodium.
