Database warning message

(1/1)

chliu8219:
Hello, everyone
The PHREEQC operation results are fine, but warning messages appear. There seems to be an issue with the definition of the Pitzer coefficients, but I have clearly defined them in the database. Why is this happening?
Below are my warning messages and some data from Pitzer
Thank you! Best regards

dlparkhurst:
Apparently you have defined those pairs of ions twice for one of the identifiers (-b0, -b1, etc). The order of the ions is irrelevant; a definition for Mg+2 HCO3- would replace a definition HCO3- Mg+2 and produce the warning.  Check to see whether there are two definitions between the database and your input file.

It is a warning, not an error, just to let you know the original definition will not be used. The last definition will be used. If you think there is a mistake in PHREEQC, post your database and input file.
