nonideal: Activity coefficients of aqueous species

Description

Calculate activity coefficients and adjusted (non-ideal) molal properties of aqueous species.

Usage

nonideal(species, speciesprops, IS, T, P, A_DH, B_DH,
           method=get("thermo")$opt$nonideal)
  Bdot(TC, P, showsplines = "")

Arguments

species

names or indices of species for which to calculate nonideal properties

speciesprops

list of dataframes of species properties

IS

numeric, ionic strength(s) used in nonideal calculations, mol kg\(^{-1}\)

T

numeric, temperature (K)

P

numeric, pressure (bar); required for Helgeson method

A_DH

numeric, A Debye-Huckel coefficient; required for Helgeson method

B_DH

numeric, B Debye-Huckel coefficient; required for Helgeson method

method

character, Alberty, Helgeson, or Helgeson0

TC

numeric, temperature (C)

showsplines

character, show isobaric (T) or isothermal (P) splines

Value

One (G) or more (H, S, Cp; currently only with the Alberty method) standard thermodynamic properties (at IS=0) in speciesprops are replaced by the corresponding adjusted thermodynamic properties (at higher IS). For all affected species, a column named loggam (common (base-10) logarithm of gamma, the activity coefficient) is appended to the output dataframe of species properties.

Details

nonideal takes a list of dataframes (in speciesprops) containing the standard molal properties of the identified species. The function calculates the *adjusted* properties for given ionic strength (IS); they are equal to the *standard* values at IS=0. The function bypasses (leaves unchanged) properties of all species whose charge (determined by the number of Z in their makeup) is equal to zero. The proton () and electron () are also bypassed by default; this makes sense if you are setting the pH, i.e. activity of , to some value. To apply the calculations to H+ and/or e-, change thermo$opt$ideal.H or ideal.e to FALSE. The lengths of IS and T supplied in the arguments should be equal to the number of rows of each dataframe in speciesprops, or length one to use single values throughout.

If method is Alberty, the values of IS are combined with Alberty's (2003) equation 3.6-1 (extended Debye-H<U+00FC>ckel equation) and its derivatives, to calculate adjusted molal properties at the specified ionic strength(s) and temperature(s). The adjusted molal properties that can be calculated include G, H, S and Cp; any columns in the dataframes of speciesprops with other names are left untouched.

If method is Helgeson, the “B-dot” equation is used. This equation seems to have been originally proposed by Huckel, 1925; parameters were derived for use at high temperature and pressure by Helgeson, 1969; Helgeson et al., 1981; Manning, 2013. The distance of closest approach (the “ion size parameter”) is set to 3.72 Angstrom, which is appropriate for NaCl-dominated solutions (Helgeson et al., 1981 Table 2). In addition to IS and T, this method depends on values of P, A_DH, and B_DH given in the arguments. The calculation of “B-dot”, also used in the equations, is made within nonideal by calling the Bdot function. For some uses, it is desirable to set the “B-dot” parameter to zero; this can be done by setting the method to Helgeson0. Currently, G is the only adjusted molal property that is calculated (but this can be used by subcrt to calculate adjusted equilibrium constants).

Bdot calculates the “B-dot” deviation function (Helgeson, 1969) a.k.a. extended term parameter (written as b_gamma; Helgeson et al., 1981) for activity coefficients in NaCl solutions at high temperature and pressure. Data at and 0.5 to 5 kb are taken from Helgeson (1969, Table 2 and Figure 3) and Helgeson et al. (1981, Table 27) and extrapolated values at 10 to 30 kb from Manning et al. (2013, Figure 11). Furthermore, the 10 to 30 kb data were used to generate super-extrapolated values at 40, 50, and 60 kb, which may be encountered using the water.DEW calculations. If all P correspond to one of the isobaric conditions, the values of Bdot at T are calculated by spline fits to the isobaric data. Otherwise, particular (dependent on the T) isobaric spline fits are themselves used to construct isothermal splines for the given values of T; the isothermal splines are then used to generate the values of Bdot for the given P. To see the splines, set showsplines to T to make the first set (isobaric splines) along with the data points, or P for examples of isothermal splines at even temperature intervals (here, the symbols are not data, but values generated from the isobaric splines). This is a crude method of kriging the data, but produces fairly smooth interpolations without adding any external dependencies.
