Phreeqc



Dear Sir,
 
I am writing to check how are the CEC determinations supposed to be done for PHREEQC modelling. Could you please send me the recipe? I believe they should be determined in whole sediment and not just in the fine fraction.
I have all my CEC values determined for fine fraction. When I tried to model cation exchange using these values they seemed to be too high. Then I tried to recalculate these CEC values considering the amount of fine material in the sediment and I got CEC values about one order of magnitude less and that simulated better the results. However, I am not sure it is correct to do this approximation.
Could you please clarify for me this question?
Thanking in advance for your kind help.
