A contribution to the understanding of hydrochemical properties of thermomineral water on the L’dži locality (eastern part of North Macedonia)

Review of the Bulgarian Geological Society

Regarding the aspect of mineral, thermo-mineral, and thermal waters, on the territory of the Republic of North Macedonia, there are 65 registered locations, of which 8 are categorized as spas. This includes the Kežovica spa, also known as the Štipska spa. In the vicinity of Kežovica Spa is the thermo-mineral L’Dži spring with mineralization around 1.3 g/L and the water temperature at the time of sampling was 50.1 °C. Spring L’Dži is generated by a fault structure and is linked to a granite massif of Mesozoic age. These are alkaline waters (pH = 8.3) and the hydrochemical type is chloride-sodium. Regarding the trace elements, the water of the L’Dži spring contains a large amount of boron and silica. Water also contains an increased content of arsenic (200 μg/L) and tungsten (169 μg/L). Elevated concentrations of As and W are characteristic of alkaline thermal waters in reducing conditions. Often elevated concentrations of Mo are accompanied by elevated concentrations of As and W, which is also the case.
