* Chemical system
The benchmark depicts an isotherm porous system at *25 °C* where pure
water is initially at equilibrium with *celestite* (strontium sulfate;
brute formula: SrSO_{4}). 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 kinetics rate law based on transition state theory:
rate = -S_{m} k_{barite} (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 kinetic coefficient, and SR is
the saturation ratio, i.e., the ratio of the ion activity product of
the reacting species and the solubility constant, calculated
internally by PHREEQC from the speciated solution.
For barite, the reaction rate is computed as sum of two mechanisms,
r_{/acid/} and r_{/neutral/}:
rate_{barite} = S_{barite} (k_{/acid/} + k_{/neutral/}) * (1 - SR_{barite})
where:
k_{/acid/} = 10^{-6.9} e^{-30800 / R} \cdot act(H^{+})^{0.22}
k_{/neutral/} = 10^{-7.9} e^{-30800 / R}
R (8.314462 J K^{-1} mol^{-1}) is the gas constant.
For celestite the kinetic law considers only the acidic mechanism and
reads:
rate_{celestite} = S_{celestite} 10^{-5.66} e^{-23800 / R} \cdot
act(H^{+})^{0.109} \cdot (1 - SR_{celestite})
The kinetic rates as implemented in the =db_barite.dat= file accepts
one parameter which represents reactive surface area in m^{2}. For the
benchmarks the surface areas are set to
- S_{barite}: 50 m^{2}
- S_{celestite}: 10 m^{2}
A starting seed for barite is given at 0.001 mol in each domain
element.
* Nucleation (TODO)
Geochemical benchmark inspired by Tranter et al. (2021) without
nucleation.
* POET simulations
Currently these benchmarks are pure diffusion simulations. There are 7
transported species: H, O, Charge, Ba, Cl, S(6), Sr.
