CHAPTER 2 MATERIALS AND METHODS<br />

the GEMS code was used, which is based on the PSI chemical thermodynamic database<br />

[44] merged with the slop98.dat database for temperature and pressure corrections [45].<br />

2.3.1. Estimation of heat capacity of Fe-containing phases<br />

The heat capacity, Cp°, of a solid can be expressed as a function of temperature using the<br />

parameters (a0, a1, a2 and a3) according to:<br />

Cp o = a0 + a1T + a2T -2 + a3T -0.5<br />

In this study the heat capacities Cp° for Fe-containing phases were calculated based on<br />

the Cp° of the structurally similar Al-analogues [46] using reference reactions as shown<br />

in Table 3. If such reference reactions involve only solids and no “free” water, the change<br />

in heat capacity and the entropy is approximately zero [47, 48].<br />

2.3.2. Determination of solubility products<br />

The measured composition of the liquid phase was used to calculate solubility products<br />

for the different solids. The activity coefficients of the dissolved species were calculated<br />
