  MINTEQA2, a geochemical equilibrium speciation model for dilute aqueous systems, is an update of MINTEQ that was developed by combining the fundamental mathematical structure of MINEQL with the thermodynamic data base of WATEQ3.

MINTEQA2 can be used to calculate the equilibrium composition of dilute solutions in laboratory or natural aquatic systems. It can be used to calculate the mass distribution between dissolved, adsorbed, and multiple solid phases under a variety of conditions.

  MINTEQA2 is accompanied by an interactive program PRODEFA2, that is used to create MINTEQA2 input files. With PRODEFA2, user can access species available in MINTEQA2 thermodynamic data base and define other aqueous, solid, and/or adsorption species not present in the data base.

MINTEQA2 user should have a scientific or engineering background with at least one year of introductory chemistry. Additional experience with thermodynamics would be very helpful.


Unix Version Specification

  This version of MINTEQA2 model is designed for the Unix family of workstation, mainframe, and/or compatible systems (refer to DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM).

There are no hardware specific commands, options, and/or FORTRAN statements within the MINTEQA2 model system. It has been compiled, linked, and executed under a variety of Unix hardware and software platforms. It should be compatible with any standard hardware/software platform running Unix variants. For further compilation and linking information, refer to the DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM section.




The distribution contains source files for the Metal Speciation Equilibrium Model for Surface and Ground Water (MINTEQA2, Version 3.12 Beta for Unix) and Problem Definition Program for MINTEQA2 (PRODEFA2, Version 3.12 Beta for Unix), U.S. EPA releases, dated August 1996, for platforms running under the Unix operating system and its variants.

For gunzip'd and tar'd (i.e., bundled & compressed) Unix files, please use

$ gzip -dc [file.tar.gz] | tar xvf -

to uncompress & restore directories/files.

If you don't have GNU 'gunzip' installed in your system, please download GNU gzip program (GNU gzip 1.2.4 (tar file)) first, then uncompress the gunzip'd and tar'd model files.
