  3. NON-EQUILIBRIUM REACTIONS • REACTION • REACTION_TEMPERATURE • KINETICS

  4. CONCEPTUAL MODEL • Define initial solution (or mixture of initial solutions). 2. Define irreversible REACTION 3. Define EQUILIBRIUM_PHASES • Moles of each phase • SI or gas partial pressure

  5. Reactions Implicit redox reactions

  6. MIX: One or more SOLUTIONS • Type solution number • Type mixing fraction

  7. R.1. Exercise Implicit Redox Reactionsmg/L • Define rainwater as SOLUTION 1 with log partial pressure of O2 = -0.7 and CO2 = -3.5. • Define END. • Define MIX by using solution 1 and mixing fraction 1. • Define END. • Run.

  8. R.2. Questions 1. Explain the differences between the initial solution composition and the reaction (mixed) solution composition, particularly pH, pe, N(5), N(0), and N(-3).

  9. Reactions Sequential reactions

  10. SAVE and USE • Save results of calculations • Use previously defined SOLUTIONS, EQUILIBRIUM_PHASES, REACTIONs, etc • Use previously SAVEd SOLUTIONS, EQUILBRIUM_PHASES, etc

  11. SAVE results from a “Reaction Calculation” Note: SOLUTION defines an “initial solution” calculation, which is automatically saved. Index numbers are used to keep track Index numbers do not need to be sequential

  12. USE: Previously defined or SAVEd • USE includes KINETICS, MIX, REACTION, and REACTION_TEMPERATURE • Can USE previously SAVEd EQUILIBRIUM_PHASES, EXCHANGE, SOLID_SOLUTION, SOLUTION, or SURFACE

  13. “Initial Solution” and “Reaction” Calculations

  14. REACTION: Reactants and stoichiometry • Choose phase or type formula • Define relative stoichiometry

  15. REACTION: Reaction amounts • Steps are a number of equal increments or • Steps are a specified list • Specify units

  16. “Initial Solution” and Reaction CalculationsThe inscrutable END • Initial Solution/Speciation calculation—every SOLUTION • Reaction calculation—SOLUTION + reactant before END • Reactant may be any reactant keyword data block • USE can define solution or reactant • END—Do speciation and reaction • END—defines a “Simulation”

  17. Speciation and Reaction CalculationsThe inscrutable END • Simulation 1 • Speciation calculation solution 1 • Speciation calculation solution 2 • Reaction calculation • SOLUTION 1 • EQUILIBRIUM_PHASES 2 • REACTION 3 • Simulation 2 • Speciation calculation solution 3 • Reaction calculation • SOLUTION 2 • EQUILIBRIUM_PHASES 1 • REACTION 3 • Simulation 3 • No speciation calculation • No reaction calculation—No Reactant defined

  18. R.3. Exercise Sequential Reactions • Make an unsaturated zone water. Build on previous exercise with rainwater. Add SAVE solution 2 after MIX step and before END. After the END, add USE solution 2 and equilibrate (EQUILIBRIUM_PHASES) with CO2, log partial pressure –2, and calcite (SI = 0), save solution as solution 3. • Use solution 3, add 1 mmol CO2 (REACTION), equilibrate with calcite (EQUILIBRIUM_PHASES), save as solution 4.

  19. R.4. Questions • What is the log pCO2 of the rainwater, rainwater, in redox equilibrium (the mixture), the mixture equilibrated with CO2 and calcite, and after reaction with CO2? • How many millimoles of calcite and CO2 reacted to make solution 3? • How many millimoles of calcite reacted to make solution 4 from solution 3?

  21. Reactions Dedolomitization

  22. Dedolomitization • Anhydrite dissolution • Calcite precipitation • Dolomite dissolution

  23. R.6. Exercise • Make a ground water with log pCO2 = -2, equilibrium with calcite and dolomite. • React 50 mmol of anhydrite (CaSO4) in increments of 10 mmol. Maintain equilibrium with calcite and dolomite, allow anhydrite to precipitate if it becomes saturated.

  24. R.7. Questions • What trends do you expect in water composition with anhydrite-driven dedolomitization? • Why is the following reaction misleading? CaSO4 + CaMg(CO3)2 = 2CaCO3 + Mg+2 + SO4-2 3. How does the water composition change from step 4 to step 5?

  25. R.8. QuestionsPlummer and Sprinkle, 2001mg/L, S(-2) as H2S 1. Are these the trends of dedolomitization? 2. Anything else?
