HYDROCHEMISTRY AND GEOCHEMICAL TYPIFICATION OF SALT LAKES STEPPES OF THE ALTAI TERRITORY
The results of research expeditions in 2011 and 2013,including the microcomponent composition of the salt lakes steppes of the Altai Territory and their physicochemical characteristics are presented. It was shown that the lakes are mainly represented with soda and chloride types with sodium cationic composition. Information about inorganic reduced forms of sulfur in sediments and waters of some lakes was obtained. Geochemical typification of lakes, taking into account the chemical composition and pH of the water was proposed.
