Acta Montanistica Slovaca Ro?ník 10 (2005), mimoriadne ?íslo1, 294-301 Comparison of Al samples from electrolysis production and elemental Al from colloids Libu?e ?ur?ová 1 Porovnanie vzorky Al vyrobeného elektrolyzou a elementárneho Al z koloidov Sediments of specific composition and content of precipitates were found as a consequence of increased concentration of sulphate at the Quaternary groundwater. Precipitates with elemental Al and fibres of alloy of Si , Fe and Al (max size of Al spots cca 0 0 0 0 0 300x100 microns) from colloids of Al O .nH O from borewells at Podlu?í were identified by RTG analyses and SEM in more then 20 2 analyses. Structure of colloids of Al O .nH O was verified by composition of Al samples produced by electrolysis at Slovalco Ltd. Co. and of elemental Al revealed some parallel in composition 3 2 27 Al MAS NMR from several VIS borewells:A comparison of chemical 2 3 2 0 and their appearance. Samples ?IAR1 and ?IAR3 have similar chemical composition of Al with Al from VIS 15 but they differ in appearance. The rest of group (samples ?IAR 2, ?IAR 4, ?IAR 5) differs from VIS 15 in composition and appearance of basic Al matter and specific alloys of Al, Si, and Fe. Key words: Sulphate, sediments, Fe minerals, elemental Al and Si , SEM analysis of Al from colloids and from electrolysis 0 0 Introduction The amount of sulphate in wellfields at the Quaternary groundwater of the Morava river watershed increased for 37 years occassionally to the concentration of 300-400 mg/l of sulphate, as it was in 1997 at Kně?pole, while 60 l/s of drinking water were exploited (?ur?ová 2002). The process caused by many factors of natural conditions of the area and by the invol
