Visual MINTEQ is a Windows utility that allows users to create chemical speciation models of dissolved metals in water samples. It is possible to estimate the solubility of minerals and calculate adsorption properties as well.
Brief description
This program is widely used in environmental chemistry, aquatic engineering and geochemistry. You can construct realistic models by inputting source data and running simulations. There are instruments for generating speciation diagrams and adsorption isotherms.
Like in Micromath Scientist, users are able to import information from Excel spreadsheets. This functionality is helpful for integrating Visual MINTEQ with other scientific applications.
Available operations
You can evaluate the effect of precipitating or dissolving solid phases. Moreover, it is possible to calculate the equilibrium speciation of common redox couples. Tools for simulating the change in chemical composition of a water sample during titration are included.
There is an option to estimate the binding of ions to hydroxide surfaces and organic matter. Modern complexation models are utilized for this purpose.
Features
