Chemical Weathering Processes and Atmospheric CO2 Consumption in the Hanjiang River Basin, Guangdong Province
The weathering of the rock has a very close relationship with the carbon cycle. The Hanjiang River is the second largest river in Guangdong Province. A hot and humid climate prevails in the Hanjiang River basin. Based on tests and analysis of the samples from the Hanjiang River Basin
it is found that the chemical compositions of waters of the Hanjiang River and its tributaries are dominated by HCO

and Na

Gibbs graph analysis showed that the ion compositions were mainly from chemical weathering of rocks. Correlation analysis and principal composition analysis showed that weathering processes of evaporates
carbonates
and silicate rocks contributed to the total dissolved mass of the Hanjiang River water by 33.4%
27.7% and 10.5%
respectively
and atmospheric CO

by 202%. The contribution proportion of atmospheric CO

to the HCO

in the river water is about 50.2%
from which the quantity of CO

consumption is calculated to be 73.33×10

respectively. The total CO

and the Meitanhe River (181.18×10
