SOLUTION_MASTER_SPECIES

This keyword is used to define the correspondence between element names and aqueous primary and secondary master species. The alkalinity contribution of the master species, the gram formula weight used to convert mass units, and the element gram formula weight also are defined in this data block. Normally, this data block is included in the database file and only additions and modifications are included in the input file.

Annotation (Details)

Keyword Explanation
ElementAn element name or an element name followed by a valence state in parentheses. The element name must begin with a capital letter, followed by zero or more lower case letters or underscores ("_").
SpeciesThe formula for the master species, including its charge.
AlkalinityAlkalinity contribution of the master species.
GFW_or_FormulaDefault value used to convert input data in mass units to mole units for the element or element valence. Either gram formula weight or formula is required, but these items are mutually exclusive.
GFW_for_ElementThis field is required for primary master species and must be the gram formula weight for the pure element, not for an aqueous species.
