  1. I am trying to model the kinetic dissolution of limestone using Kinetic Calcite. The specific command I am using is: 75 gram of Calcite by kinetic rate law Rate law = "rate_con * surface * (0.30*molality('CO3--')/Ksp - molality('Ca++'))" Rate constant = 2.7e-6 mol/cm2 sec Specific surface area = 3.37 cm2/g REACT runs for some time and seems to end normally. However, the printd output (View Results) only contains information for Step 0. (See below) I am wondering what is causing this - This is the first time I have used the kinetic part of REACT, so please let me know if I did something dumb so that i can correct. output and input below (in that order) -- OUTPUT Step # 0 Xi = 0.0000 Time = 0 secs (0 days) Temperature = 25.0 C Pressure = 1.013 bars pH = 6.250 Ionic strength = 0.002195 Activity of water = 0.999937 Solvent mass = 1.000000 kg Solution mass = 1.000104 kg Solution density = 1.013 g/cm3 Chlorinity = 0.001790 molal Dissolved solids = 104 mg/kg sol'n Rock mass = 0.075000 kg Carbonate alkalinity= 0.54 mg/kg as CaCO3 moles moles grams cm3 Reactants remaining reacted reacted reacted ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Calcite 0.7493 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 Kinetic rate const. sp. surface net surface rxn rate mineral rxns (mol/cm2 s) area (cm2/g) area (cm2) (mol/kg sec) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Calcite 2.000e-006 3.370 252.7 1.#IO No minerals in system.
