Whey databases

[AnnaJulIQ]

Hi, I'm currently working on a degree project. I am trying to simulate the recovery of minerals such as zinc and manganese from waste piles using whey as industrial waste.
I am a beginner in the program, I would like to know if anyone knows of a database that contains the composition of whey

Sincerely,

Wow. What is the theory of using whey? The only thing I can think is that the organic compounds in whey act as ligands to help dissolve ore minerals. If that is the case, llnl.dat and minteq.v4.dat have some data for organic ligands. Still I'm not sure if these databases would be the answer. You might need a more complete model for organic binding, like WHAM or NICA, which is not available in PHREEQC.
