Abstract

The presented results were obtained in a long-term multidisciplinary study of the water-cooling reservoir of the Yuzhnoural’skaya SDPP, burning high-ash brown coals from the Chelyabinsk Basin. Up-to-date analytical methods (X-ray fluorescence analysis on synchrotron beams, atomic absorption spectrometry, and capillary electrophoresis) were used to study the microelement composition of coal, ash, and slag of the Yuzhnoural’skaya SDPP, soils from ash dumps and territories adjacent to the SDPP, as well as reservoir bottom sediments. The hydrochemical characteristics of the reservoir and water chemistry in the SDPP engineering system were determined. The levels of accumulation of microelements and heavy metals by aquatic organisms in the reservoir were evaluated. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the sources of arsenic in the reservoir.
