One question about PHREEQC, Bonn

["David L Parkhurst" <dlpark@xxxxxxxx>]

PHREEQC was not really designed to generate entire Eh-pH diagrams. It is a
reaction model and it can be used to make Eh-pH diagrams, but it is not
easy. Example 8 in the manual shows a way to generate fixed pH points on a
diagram, a similar definition of fix_e- could be used to adjust pe, and
they could be used simultaneously to scan across a diagram. So you can
probably get what you want, but it could be a lot of work.

Dear Sirs,

We  work at the Institute of Soil Science, University of Bonn, and we try
to use the Phreeqc Interactive 2.4.2 Alpha to make Eh-pH diagrams, but,
unfortunatelly, it is not successful, because we have never used it before
und have not some example to verify our steps. Possibly, we can not
understand some options or steps correctly.
Could you please inform us, is this program suitable  for Eh-pH diagrams
and how we can find (if possible) some explanation or example to make this
procedure?

Thank you very much,
Sincerely Yours,

Marina Anissimova
