I looked in phreeqc.dat, wateq4f.dat, llnl.dat, and minteq.dat, and none have analytical expressions for vivianite, nor can I find any instance of the number 234.205 in any of the databases. So I'm confused as to where to locate the error; it looks like it is not in any of the databases that I distribute.

The values for the analytic expression for the solubility of vivianite should read: +234.205 0.0 -12,242.6 -92.510 instead of -234.205 0.0 +12,242.6 +92.510 The reason is presumably that Al-Borno & Tomson (GCA(58/24), 5373-5378) report the analytic expression for pK instead of logK. Best regards, Jasper Griffioen
