database error message：Equation has no equal sign；

[chliu8219]

Hello everyone, I have some problems with the database, through the following error data we can see that gibbsite has an error, but as long as I delete gibbsite, the same error message appears in the phase behind gibbsite. I don't understand the reason, is my database too long?
############    The following is my error message and database file
   Input file: D:\AAAGuoBO\20250402-hengxiang-phreeqc\1.pqi
  Output file: D:\AAAGuoBO\20250402-hengxiang-phreeqc\1.pqo
Database file: D:\AAAGuoBO\phreeqc-database\MOS DATABASE\MOS-nantong.dat

Thank you for your help,

You must have some definitions out of sequence.

I would use another database that works and put the initial definition of the PHASES section of the database that does not work in an input file. Add more phases from the incorrect database until the error occurs. That should isolate the problem, and you can fix it.

It is possible that the problem is in the SOLUTION_SPECIES definitions, in which case, you can use the same process to identify the error.
