NETPATH-WIN is an interactive user version of NETPATH, an inverse geochemical modeling code used to find mass-balance reaction models that are consistent with the observed chemical and isotopic composition of waters from aquatic systems. NETPATH-WIN was constructed to migrate NETPATH applications into the Microsoft WINDOWS® environment. The new version facilitates model utilization by eliminati...

Detecting deep mineralization from partial element concentrations in surface and near-surface samples requires detecting the signature of one geochemical process against a background that arises from many other geochemical processes. Since the last glaciation of the Canadian Shield, it is believed that only H+ can have diffused through substantial overburden, and hence that the only available s...

The hydrological cycle of Lake Ipê and the principal parameters that could affect its abiotic parameters and its metal (Fe, Mn, and Cd) concentrations were investigated. A detailed study of seasonal variations using Principal Components Analysis (PCA) for the most relevant metals (Fe, Mn and Cd) was performed, assisted by the MINTEQA2 geochemical equilibrium program using 15 water abiotic param...

roudgaz prospect area is a cu, sn, pb, zn, and au polymetal vein system located to the southeast of gonabad and in the northeast of lut block. oxidan subvolcanic tertiary rocks with monzonite to monzodiorite porphyry composition intruded the metamorphic rocks of middle jurassic. the majority of intrusive bodies are affected by carbonation, argillic, sericitic, and silicification-tourmaline alte...

Waterflooding remains the most commonly used method to improve oil recovery. Although injected brine type is mainly dependent on its availability, few of characteristics can be controlled during project design. Published laboratory work indicates that adjustment composition cause an increase in production by wettability alteration. This research objective propose a novel four-step framework for...

Evaluation of volcanic and hydrothermal fluxes to the surface environments is important to elucidate the geochemical cycle of sulphur and the evolution of ocean chemistry. This paper presents S/(3)He ratios of vesicles in mid-ocean ridge (MOR) basalt glass together with the ratios of high-temperature hydrothermal fluids to calculate the sulphur flux of 100 Gmol/y at MOR. The S/(3)He ratios of h...

Laboratory and field studies show that pesticides may be transformed in the groundwater zone. Possible reaction mechanisms are chemical hydrolysis, catalytic reduction and aerobic or anaerobic microbial transformation. Transformation in the groundwater zone can be an important element in the advanced evaluation of the potential risk arising from a pesticide in the public drinking water supply. ...

The characterization of water-based corrosion, geochemical, environmental and catalytic processes rely on the accurate depiction of stable phases in a water environment. The process is aided by Pourbaix diagrams, which map the equilibrium solid and solution phases under varying conditions of pH and electrochemical potential. Recently, metastable or possibly stable nanometric aqueous clusters ha...
