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:
- How to model laboratory experiments, such as determination of exchangeable cations,
oxidation of pyrite with surface complexation of heavy metals released.
- To calculate the dissolution of CO2-gas and gas-mixtures at high pressures with the Peng-Robinson
equation of state.
- How to model hydrochemical reactions during artificial recharge, aquifer thermal energy storage, in situ iron removal.
- To deduce reaction patterns along groundwater flowlines via inverse modeling, incl. data uncertainties, isotopes.
- How to model any type of kinetic reaction, such as feldspar weathering, denitrification via sequential Monod kinetics.
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

The course fee is € 1950,-- + 21% VAT. (The VAT does not apply for non-EU participants, or can be transferred if your institute has a VAT number in the EU (excl. NL))
It includes:
- a USB-stick with PHREEQC version 3, incl. source codes and the manuals of version 2 and 3.
- The 2nd edition of Appelo and Postma's 'Geochemistry, Groundwater
and Pollution' that is fully rewritten and updated with examples and exercises
showing applications of PHREEQC. (If you have the book and don't need it, the course fee is € 1900,-- + 21% VAT, with the above noted rules. But, please take the book with you, we'll use it during the course.)
