Gregg W. Jones Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Hi Gia - When I run REACT using the attached file, in the mineral saturation states output, I end up with the mineral Chromite being supersaturated. I try to suppress it by selecting config, suppress, then selecting chromite. I click on apply but nothing seems to happen then I click ok. I select run, go and rerun the simulation. When I view the results, chromite is still listed as a supersaturated mineral. If it's suppressed, it shouldn't be listed, right? Am I doing something wrong?

Jia Wang Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Hello Gregg, When a species or mineral has been suppressed, the program will not allow it to form in your system. To see the effects of suppressing, you need to look in “Minerals in system” (or “Minerals”, in Gtplot), as opposed to “Mineral saturation states” (or “Mineral saturation”, in Gtplot). The saturation index is a measure of whether or not it is thermodynamically possible that a mineral can precipitate given the fluid composition and it will be calculated whether or not a mineral is suppressed. If you don't want certain minerals to appear on the saturation index list, you can remove it from the thermodynamic database (in other words, your .tdat file) and save the new dataset to use for your simulation. Hope this helps, Jia Wang Aqueous Solutions LLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
