Manganese sorption

(1/1)

yasmina:
Dear FREEQC-users,

I have just recently started using Phreeqc for my Master's thesis. I am facing some problems in writing my script, I tried to use the database as much as possible, but I don't know what I am doing wrong. I hope you could help me please.

So my problem is as follow:
I want to model the adsorption of manganese using Freundlich isotherm. In my experiment, I used a 0.01 M of NaHCO3 (40 ml as a background solution) to which I added 1g of soil, then I added different volumes of a 0.005 M Mn(NO3)2*2H2O solution. In the end, I got many samples that had the same amount of soil and background solution but different initial volume of Mn(NO3)2.

When I try to make this into a phreeqc script, nothing works. You will find the script here below. I really hope that you could spare some of your time to discuss my problem.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
