Geothermal springs have provided a unique opportunity to study the geothermal system of geological processes. A reservoir temperature estimation based on the chemical geothermometers is vitally essential for assessing the exploration and development of geothermal resources. The paper represents the various techniques of geothermometers with compari...

... reservoir temperatures estimated from the cation geothermometers (Eq., 3-4) are usually higher than those obtained from silica geothermometers (Eq., 1-2) [8,9,10], as shown in Table 3 and Figure 2. The Na-K-Ca geothermometer (Eq., 3) gives anomalously high temperatures ranging from 128 to 182°C, whereas the K-Mg geothermometer (Eq., 4) yields the maximum temperature of around 114°C;. ...

... the K-Mg geothermometer results are considered more consistent with reservoir temperature estimates from the silica (particularly chalcedony) geothermometer [11,12,13]. Reservoir temperatures estimated by the quartz geothermometer are about 20-30 °C higher than those by the chalcedony geothermometer [12,13,14] shown in Figure 2. Whereas the comparisons for quartz, chalcedony, Na-K-Ca, and K-Mg geothermometers used to calculate reservoir temperatures corresponding to all hot spring sample sites are shown in Figure 2. On the other hand, the relationships between silica contents, exit temperatures, and reservoir temperatures calculated with the quartz-silica geothermometer using the hot spring water composition are plotted in Figure 3a. ...

Thermal water from the hot springs around Bugok, South Korea, has the highest discharge temperature (78 °C), and the source of that heat is of primary interest. The key 3He/4He ratio runs along a single air-mixing line between the mantle and the crust, with the latter accounting for 97.0–97.3%. This suggests that the thermal source is radioactive d...
