    Abstract

    The hydrogeochemical processes that took place during an aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) trial in a confined anoxic sandy aquifer (Herten, the Netherlands) were identified and quantified, using observation wells at 0.1, 8 and 25m distance from the ASR well. Oxic drinking water was injected in 14 ASR cycles in the period 2000-2009. The main reactions consisted of the oxidation of pyrite, sedimentary organic matter, and (adsorbed) Fe(II) and Mn(II) in all aquifer layers (A-D), whereas the dissolution of carbonates (Mg-calcite and Mn-siderite) occurred mainly in aquifer layer D.
