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.
