Database warning message
« on: 14/08/25 14:13 »
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

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.
