  1. Hi Brian Please find attached the edited database Regards Godfrey.thermo_wateq4fettringite.dat
  2. Hi Brian I have managed to edit and save the mineral in the database now. The problem now is that the mineral (ettringite) is not being picked by the Act2 program when I want draw stability diagrams for Al and sulphate containing minerals. Please find attached the edited database.
  3. Hi I am trying to edit thermo database to include ettringite mineral. When I want to use for ACT2 it is giving an error; unknown reaction "OH-". If I click ok it go on to say Last line read is line 3889: 2.000 Al+++ 12.000 OH-. If I click ok again it says ACT2 stop: bad thermo database ACT2 ending. what could be problem and how can I rectify it. Regards
  4. Hi Thanks very much for the assistance on ACT2. I have another question on the drawing an ACT2 diagram for Al species against pH. I know that at pH greater than 11 the most stable mineral phase that exists is ETTRINGITE but on my diagram the phase that is predominate is Al(OH)4-. Is there a way to edit the database to suit what I want to depict in the diagram.
  5. Hi I am trying to draw the act2 for Fe species at different pH. The problem is that not all of the species are showing in the diagram. The species that are appearing if l click the log icon are: Subdiagram #7: Fe+++ with K+, CaOH+, Brucite, Na+, Al(OH)4-, Mn(OH)2(am) Loaded 14 species and minerals: Fe+++ Fe(OH)2+ Fe(OH)3 Fe(OH)4- Fe2(OH)2++++ Fe3(OH)4(5+) FeOH++ Fe(OH)3(ppd) Ferrite-2-Ca Ferrite-Ca Ferrite-Mg Goethite Hematite NaFeO2© Subdiagram #8: Fe+++ with K+, Portlandite, Brucite, Na+, Al(OH)4-, Mn(OH)2(am) Loaded 14 species and minerals: Fe+++ Fe(OH)2+ Fe(OH)3 Fe(OH)4- Fe2(OH)2++++ Fe3(OH)4(5+) FeOH++ Fe(OH)3(ppd) Ferrite-2-Ca Ferrite-Ca Ferrite-Mg Goethite Hematite NaFeO2© All of these minerals are not appearing in the plot. Can you please help me to sort this problem. Please find attached the act2 file. Regards Fe-pH.ac2
  6. One of my colleague want to use the GWB for carbon dioxide sequestration. So she want to use REACT and its not active on GWB essential. Do you think we should upgrade to GWB standard in order to use REACT. Regards Godfrey
  7. HI Tom The error is still coming up. You see after running the Spec8 it gives this: Solving for species distribution. Loaded: 159 aqueous species, 148 minerals, 7 gases, 0 surface species, 19 elements, 15 oxides. l want to find out the % distribution of the 158 species and the 148 minerals and the saturation indices of these minerals. Are you by any chance planning to have a training here in South Africa by any chance? Regards Godfrey.
  8. l have just bought a GWB software and l want to speciate the mine water that l am working on but l am getting an error as below Solving for species distribution.
