Abstract
Las aguas termales del suroeste de Perú se encuentran en acuíferos de roca carbonatada con aplicaciones médicas. El propósito de esta investigación fue caracterizar las aguas termales de Phutina, Puno, Perú. Se recolectaron muestras de agua de los pozos geotérmicos de Phutina con iones principales como Na+, Ca2+, Cl- además de HCO-, CO3 2- en el distrito de San Antonio de Putina en Puno, Perú. Se emplearon los diagramas de Piper de los tipos químicos de las muestras de aguas termales de Phutina con Na+, K+ (75%) y Cl- (60%), característicos de las aguas termales, que son generalmente salobres. Los valores de conductividad eléctrica (CE) de las aguas termales de Phutina fueron 3160 - 3184 µS/cm respectivamente. Las aguas termales tienen una alta conductividad eléctrica lo que demuestra que ha interactuado con la roca durante mucho tiempo. El marco estratigráfico y estructural de las aguas termales de Phutina está formado por una gruesa secuencia de rocas cretácicas.
Physicochemical characteristics of the Phutina hot springs, Puno, Peru. The hot springs of southwestern Peru are found in carbonate rock aquifers with medical applications. The purpose of this research was to characterize the hot springs of Phutina, Puno, Peru. Water samples were collected from Phutina geothermal wells with major ions such as Na+, Ca2+, Cl- in addition to HCO-, CO3 2- in San Antonio de Putina district in Puno, Peru. Piper diagrams of the chemical types of the Phutina hot spring water samples were used with Na+, K+ (75%) and Cl- (60%), characteristic of hot spring waters, which are generally salubrious. The electrical conductivity (EC) values of Phutina hot springs were 3160 - 3184 µS/cm respectively. The hot springs have a high electrical conductivity which shows that it has interacted with the rock for a long time. The stratigraphic and structural framework of the Phutina hot springs is formed by a thick sequence of Cretaceous rocks.
