SURFACE_COMPLEXATION_RXN Card

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.
KINETIC
Specifies kinetic sorption.
COMPLEX_KINETICS
Opens a block specifying forward and backward rate constants.
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 mineral with which the sorption site density is associated (required, but not yet linked to site density).
MULTIRATE_SCALE_FACTOR <float>
Floating point number that scales all rate constants for multirate kinetic sorption.
COLLOID <string>
Name of colloid associated with surface complexation reaction.
ROCK_DENSITY
Flag telling code to calculate surface site concentration based on rock density [i.e. (1-porosity)*soil_particle_density].
SITE <string> <float>
Name of site and site density. Units are (1) [mol/m3bulk] when no MINERAL or ROCK_DENSITY card is present, (2) [mol/kgrock] when ROCK_DENSITY is present, or (3) [mol/m3rock] when MINERAL is present. If both the ROCK_DENSITY and MINERAL cards are present, the code will key off the last card read to determine the units.
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.
