PHREEQC COURSES

short courses in hydrogeochemistry and hydrogeochemical transport modeling

Next course:

Amsterdam (NL): 25 - 29 March 2024 (full)

Conference and Course in Washington DC, September 30 - October 4, 2024: please see the website Geochemical Modeling: PHREEQC and Beyond.

The courses are intended to introduce the powerful capacity of PHREEQC for modeling practical hydrogeochemical problems. Lectures during the course provide an overview of the important processes in water quality. Hand and computer exercises from the 2nd edition of Appelo and Postma's 'Geochemistry, Groundwater and Pollution form an integral part of the course.

In the course you will learn:

The day-to-day program entails:

day 1: Overview of Hydrogeochemical Reactions and Processes.
Basics of PHREEQC, Input & output files, Check an analysis, find the possible culprit using EC, Mineral equilibration,
Temperature- and Pressure-effects on solubility, Gases at high pressure, Mixing.
day 2: Exchange, Surface complexation, Simulation of laboratory analyses.
Exchangers/surfaces connected to (reacting) minerals.
Pyrite oxydation, release/sorption of Arsenic.
day 3: Advective, Reactive and Dispersive (1D) Transport
Chromatographic separations. Modeling of Artificial Recharge
day 4: Dual porosity calculations, Exchange with Stagnant zones
Data optimization with PHREEQC and PEST
Multicomponent diffusion and electromigration experiments in clays and cement / concrete
Inverse Modeling of Water Quality
day 5: Checking numbers from an inverse model
Generalized Kinetics in PHREEQC
Examples and exercises: Denitrification, Quartz/feldspar dissolution,
Kinetics of exchange and surface complexation, Monod kinetics
