Alabandite is a sulfide mineral often found in epithermal sulfide vein deposits. The name of the mineral is derived from its supposed discovery locality at Alabanda, Aïdin, Turkey. Chemical Formula: MnS Composition: Molecular Weight = 87.00 gm General physical properties and color photograph of Alabandite can be found at [Continue]
It is wonderful what you can really do with Geochemist’s workbench. In this exercise, I am going to use the known concentrations of sea water and use Geochemist’s workbech to perform a little exercise. Geochemist workbench has different modules. In this particular excercise, I am going to use the SpecE8 module. This module is similar [Continue]
Convert Eh (mV) to pe – Geochemistry Tips! Well, we are going to do nothing fancy. We will be converting our field Eh (mV) measurements to pe. I just used simple formula and make the spread sheet in excel that I use for my own quick reference. If you have lost your calculator or could [Continue]
What is K (Equilibrium Constant)? Geochemistry quick tips! In principle, any chemical equilibrium reaction can be described by the mass – action law. Where K = Thermodynamic equilibrium or dissolution constant K is truly defined based on the type of reaction in hand. For example: Dissolution / Precipitation reaction: K= Ks = Solubility [Continue]
Alkalinity (As of CaCO3 to As of HCO3-): Practical guide on unit conversion This article is for all young geochemist starting their work in consulting world! I went through the pain of discovering the facts that are not really taught in schools or in books. You can only learn them by playing with actual laboratory [Continue]
