SURFACE_COMPLEXATION_RXN

Specifies parameters for a surface complexation reaction.

Required Cards:

SURFACE_COMPLEXATION_RXN

Opens the block.

Optional Cards:

EQUILIBRIUM

Specifies equilibrium kinetic sorption.

MULTIRATE_KINETIC

Specifies multirate kinetic sorption. Requires RATES and SITE_FRACTION cards.

RATES <float … float>

Toggles on multirate kinetic sorption. Specifies kinetic rates associated with SITE_FRACTIONs. The number of RATES must match the number of SITE_FRACTIONs.

SITE_FRACTION <float … float>

Specifies site fractions associated with RATES for multirate kinetic sorption. The number of SITE_FRACTIONs must match the number of RATES.

MINERAL <string>

The name of the mineral with which the sorption site density is associated. The mineral volume fraction \(\phi_\text{mnrl}\) \(\units{\frac{\strvolume_\text{mnrl}}{\strvolume_\text{bulk}}}\) scales the site density \(\left[\omega=\omega^*\phi_\text{mnrl}\right]\) and the site density \(\omega^*\) has units \(\units{\frac{\text{mol}}{\strvolume_\text{mnrl}}}\).

MULTIRATE_SCALE_FACTOR <float>

Floating point number that scales all rate constants for multirate kinetic sorption.

COLLOID <string>

Name of the colloid associated with surface complexation reaction.

ROCK_DENSITY

A flag which allows the calculation of surface site concentration based on rock density. The rock density \(\density_\text{rock}\) \(\units{\frac{\strmass_\text{rock}}{\strvolume_\text{bulk}}}\) scales the site density \(\left[\omega=\omega^*(1-\porosity)\density_\text{rock}\right]\) and the site density \(\omega^*\) has units \(\units{\frac{\text{mol}}{\strmass_\text{rock}}}\).

SITE <string> <float>

Name of site and site density \(\omega \units{\frac{\text{mol}}{\strvolume_\text{bulk}}}\).

COMPLEXES

Opens a block listing the names of surface complexes associated with the surface complexation reaction and the surface site. These are provided by the database file.
