- W4383315897 abstract "This work aims to define the geothermal conceptual model of the Spezzano Albanese thermal system located in the northern sector of the Calabria Region, along the western edge of the Sibari Plain. The study confirms that the deep thermal reservoir of Spezzano Albanese is mainly hosted within the permeable levels of the evaporite deposits of the Messinian succession including siltstones with manganese mineralisation, halite, and gypsum-arenites. The thermal waters show discharging temperature between 20.2 and 26.6 °C and a high compositional variability, from Na–Cl to Na–Ca–HCO3. The compositional evolution (from Na–Cl to Na–HCO3) is accompanied by a decrease in both salinity and the concentrations of most dissolved constituents, including Cl, Br, B, Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, and Ba. These variations are due to mixing between the thermal endmember, rich in Cl and related components, and low-salinity, cold shallow waters (temperature between 17.5 and 22.7 °C). The study points out that the thermal endmember derives by halite dissolution and more complex water-rock interaction processes involving (1) the dissolution of other solid phases of the Messinian deposits, as also confirmed by δ34S values of dissolved sulphate and sulphide, and (2) the precipitation of secondary solid phases (e.g., barite). The geothermometric modelling suggests that the thermal groundwaters in the deep reservoir are probably in equilibrium with either (i) quartz, calcite, disordered dolomite, low-albite, and K-feldspar, as well as with pyrophyllite and poorly crystalline kaolinite (as proxies of clay minerals) at temperatures of 65.5 ± 4.5 °C or (ii) quartz, calcite, disordered dolomite, low-albite, disordered adularia, laumontite and saponites at temperatures of 56.1 ± 4.3 °C, based on the first and second geothermometric model, respectively. The δ18O and δ2H values of water confirm a meteoric origin for the thermal waters with average recharge altitudes between 745 and 857 m a.s.l. These elevations are compatible with the recharge from the western side of the Esaro valley where evaporite successions are found close to the surface. The isotopic value of the dissolved CO2 associated to the Spezzano Terme water highlights its likely microbial origin, as recognised for other thermal circuits hosted in sedimentary rocks of the southern Apennines. Furthermore, the thermal endmember shows a noteworthy enrichment in CH4 with respect to air due to the interaction of groundwater with sediments rich in organic matter. Although methane could have a biogenic origin, the presence of a minor component of thermogenic methane in the gas phase dissolved in the Spezzano Terme waters cannot be completely excluded. The data obtained in this study allow to assume that the recharge meteoric waters descend to a maximum depth of about 1.1–1.4 km below the main emergence area and then the regional NE-SW fault systems probably act as a preferential pathway for the ascent of the thermal waters towards the surface. These waters discharge at Spezzano Albanese, where the crystalline-metamorphic units cropping out immediately upstream of the emergence area act as cap-rock favouring the final ascent towards the surface of the thermal waters." @default.
