* Chemical system
The benchmark depicts a porous system where pure water is initially at
equilibrium with the *celestite* (strontium sulfate; brute formula:
SrSO_4). A solution containing only dissolved Ba^{2+} and Cl^-
diffuses into the system causing celestite dissolution. The resulting
increased concentration of dissolved sulfate SO_4^{2-} induces
precipitation of *barite* (barium sulfate; brute formula:
BaSO_4^{2-}). The overall reaction can be written:
equilibrium with *celestite* (strontium sulfate; brute formula:
SrSO_4).
Ba^{2+} + SrSO_4 \rightarrow BaSO_4 + Sr^{2+}
A solution containing only dissolved Ba^{2+} and Cl^- diffuses into
the system causing celestite dissolution. The increased concentration
of dissolved sulfate SO_{4}^{2-} induces precipitation of *barite*
(barium sulfate; brute formula: BaSO_{4}^{2-}). The overall reaction
can be written:
Ba^{2+} + celestite \rightarrow barite + Sr^{2+}
Both celestite dissolution and barite precipitation are calculated
using a general kinetics rate law based on transition state theory:
using a kinetics rate law based on transition state theory:
\frac{\mathrm{d}m_{m}}{\mathrm{d}t} = -\mathrm{SA}_m k_{\mathrm{r},m}
(1-\mathrm{SR}_{m})
rate = -S_{m} K (1-SR_{m})
where the reaction rate has units mol/s, S_m (m^2) is the reactive
surface area, K (mol/m^2/s) is the rate constant, and SR is the
saturation ratio, i.e., the ratio of the ion activity product of the
reacting species and the solubility constant.
where $\mathrm{d}m\,(\mathrm{mol/s})$ is the rate of a mineral phase
$m$, $\mathrm{SA}\,\mathrm{(m^2)}$ is the reactive surface area,
$k_{\mathrm{r}}\,\mathrm{(mol/m^2/s)}$ is the rate constant, and
$\mathrm{SR}\, {(\text{--})}$ is the saturation ratio, i.e., the ratio
of the ion activity product of the reacting species and the solubility
constant.
