webmaster Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 From: Andy Wilde Subject: wt% oxide I am trying to simulate an interaction of a hot brine with a pelitic meta-sediment. The software is React 4.0.1 The plot shows the wt% of elements in the rock with increasing fluid throughput. As you can see the totals far exceed 100%. From: Craig Bethke Subject: Re: wt% oxide When in Gtplot you choose concentration units (ug/kg, mg/kg, g/kg, wt%), you are plotting mass of something per unit mass of aqueous solution. This holds whether the “something� is dissolved, sorbed, or precipitated. So looking at this plot, you might reasonably expect wt% to represent mass fraction in the rock (since you cannot see that the pulldown list from which the creator chose the unit for the y axis), it is simply a plot in concentration units.
