Previous Releases
TCAQ2 to TCAQ3
Software release version: 2016b (November 2016)
The TCAQ3 aqueous database has been updated so that all charged species (except H+1 and OH-1) are renamed with an extra prefix "A_". For example, FE+3 becomes A_FE+3, CO3-2 becomes A_CO3-2, and FEOH+2 becomes A_FEOH+2, and so forth. This change is to enable compatibility with otherdatabases where phases are described by ionic CEF (e.g. the spinel phase in the TCFE or TCNI databases).
It is necessary to keep the names H+1 and OH-1 for the POLY_3 module so that the LIST_EQUILIBRIUM command gives the correct pH value. Keeping these names is also required for POURBAIX Module calculations.
