Abstract:
Slovakia is very poor in coal reserves but it is extremely rich in mineral and thermal water resources. The Nováky coal deposit is situated near the Bojnice spa, which is among the oldest and most important spas in Slovakia. Due to their proximity, there is a risk that coal mining could adversely affect the Bojnice thermal water resources. We evaluated the results from several surveys as well as groundwater monitoring (inflows to the mining area, overflows from surface wells, and groundwater levels relative to the aquifer systems) and groundwater chemical processes near the Nováky coal deposit and explained the relationship between the groundwater in the Nováky coal deposit and tectonically uplifted Bojnice High Block.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
