DINESH MANTRI Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I just want to check if GWB can calculate antimony sulfide scaling? We realized that antimony is not an input, or are we just missing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jia Wang Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Hello, The GWB program draw all of its analyte and thermodynamic information from the dataset loaded. The default database, thermo.dat, doesn't include any Antimony species. If you have logKs for relevant species and minerals or can find them in literature, you can expand the database by adding them via the TEdit application (see chapter 9 TEdit in the GWB Essentials Guide). Alternatively, you can explore other datasets like thermo.com.v8.r6+.dat or thermo_minteq.dat, which do include Antimony. Assess both to determine if they contain the required species across the temperature range of your interest. You can still need to add reactions if they are not available in these other datasets. For a summary of the thermodynamic dataset installed with the software, you can visit our Thermo Dataset webpage. Hope this helps, Jia Wang Aqueous Solutions LLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
