Baikal water belongs to the weakly mineralized soft waters of the hydrocarbonate class, calcium group of the first type (according to the classification of O.A. Alekin).
On average, calcium and magnesium hydrocarbonates account for 84%, chlorides and sulfates – 7%, alkali metals – 9% of the ion equivalent.
The lake water belongs to the hydrocarbonate-calcium-sulfate (HCO3- Ca2+ SO4 2+) hydrochemical facies, although the water of most tributaries (170 of 250 surveyed) belongs to the hydrocarbonate-calcium-silicon hydrofacies (HCO3- Ca2+ SiO2).
The change in the facies of the tributaries in the lake indicates the specificity of the processes of formation of Baikal waters. The waters entering the lake undergo profound changes in their chemical composition during metamorphosis, leading to a change in the hydrochemical facies.
One of the processes leading to this is the process of biogenic extraction of silicon by diatoms.
The average chemical composition of the waters in different parts of the Baikal Basin varies slightly. More changes are observed in areas adjacent to large tributaries, as well as in areas where algae develop intensively. In these areas, the amount of dissolved silicon can change significantly, up to its complete utilization, as well as phosphorus salts (phosphates) and nitrogen (nitrates).
The maximum oxygen content in the open water of Lake Baikal can reach 14 mg / l.
In winter and especially spring, when Baikal is still covered with ice, and the so-called under-ice bloom of water occurs, i.e. intensive development of phytoplankton, which releases oxygen during photosynthesis, its content increases to 16 – 18 mg / l.
In Transbaikalia, in the Ivano-Arakhleisky lakes, in some years in low-snow winters, when the ice is not covered with snow, during the period of under-ice bloom of phytoplankton and phytobenthos, its content increases to 20 – 22 mg / l.
Oxygen is sometimes released into the atmosphere in the form of bubbles from the water in a fresh ice hole.
