03 - Mixing

This example corresponds to the “Example 3-Mixing” from the Phreeqc manual. It can be retrieved from the Phreeqc Website.

This example demonstrates the capabilities of PHREEQC to perform a series of geochemical simulations, with the final simulations relying on results from previous simulations within the same run. The example investigates diagenetic reactions that may occur in zones where seawater mixes with carbonate groundwater.
