+	DATABASE: Kinec.v2.dat is a new llnl.dat style database from the 
+	CarbFix2 and GECO projects that is included in new distributions of 
+	PHREEQC. This database contains the parameters for calculating mineral 
+	dissolution rates for primary and secondary silicate minerals using the 
+	equations and parameters reported by Hermanska et al. (2022, 2023)  
+	and dissolution rates for other non-silicate mineral systems using the 
+	equations and parameters reported by Oelkers and Addassi (2024, in 
+	preparation).
