[OLD] Cu+ or Cu++ species

Subject: Cu+ or Cu++-species

I attempt to work with the database "thermo_com.R7beta" of Johnson (1998) for GWB. When I include Cu+ to my initial composition of components of the fluid, there appears the message "Cu+ isn't a basis species". In the basis there is only Cu++, so I tried to swap Cu+ for Cu++ in to the basis. Then there appears "Swap species Cu+ is already in the basis", at this point I can't follow anymore. For the "thermo.dat" of GWB 3.0.3 there is Cu+ in basis and I can't swap Cu++ for Cu+, so it's the same problem. Does anyone know how I can work with the Cu+-species or I can solve this problem ?

The script of GWB:

Initial temperature is 300, final is .01 C

Options: Debye-Huckel, flow-through

Basis is:

H2O .996993972 kg solvent

HCO3- total mol = .0024

O2(aq) total mol = -.00409385091

Ca++ total mol = .0190638148

Al+++ total mol = 2.51351966e-6

Mn++ total mol = .00047395402

H+ total mol = .00834655421

Cl- total mol = .580875652

Na+ total mol = .517296407

Mg++ total mol = 6.60314937e-6

Fe++ total mol = .00224268778

SO4-- total mol = .0040159751

K+ total mol = .0192577736

SiO2(aq) total mol = .00762498287

Zn++ total mol = .000993259417

Cu+ total mol = .000838616032

For both datasets Cu+ and Cu++ form a redox couple. If you decouple them, you should be able to work with the two species independently.
