PHREEQC question



Hello Dr. Parkhurst-

Question about the pe setting in the solution keyword.  It seems like pe is
not accepting a phase name & SI as valid input.  I'm probably missing
something but for example, using O2(g) -0.7 as the pe input results in the
following (I'm using a Yucca mt database).  Seems the code only recognizes
the -.7 and not the need to equilibrate the solution with O2 at logPO2 -.7.
What am I missing?

Thanks for your input.
Paul Domski
