-equilibrate command for PHREEQC



I am trying to use the equilibrate command under SURFACE for PHREEQC.  I
have a water composition that I am assuming is in equilibrium with
ferrihydrite.  I'm trying to model the composition of the ferrihydrite and
compare to the actual composition from samples I digested.  When I use
the -equilibrate command, the initial surface composition is virtually empty
of sorbed species, possibly because there is no ferrihydrite.  But the
solution is supersaturated wrt ferrihydrite.  So I don't understand why the
initial surface does not have ferrihydrite.  If you could provide any
suggestions I would appreciate it very much.  The input and database files
are attached.
