Understanding Reaction Path Traces in GWB12
Visualizing reaction path traces in GWB12 using Act2 or Tact diagrams helps in analyzing how mineral stability and fluid chemistry evolve during reactions like K-feldspar titration. By overlaying multiple traces, customizing markers and lines, users can explore the impact of different silica polymorph forms on stable mineral assemblages, enhancing their understanding of complex systems.

Presentation Transcript
The trace of a reaction path calculated in React can be overlain on Act2 or Tact diagrams. The working directory, where calculation results will be saved. In the model, K-feldspar is titrated into an acidic fluid.
React runs and generates text format (React_output.txt) and plot format (React_plot.gtp) output files in the specified working directory.
Create an Act2 or Tact diagram, then left-drag the .gtp file onto it or, go to File Open Reaction Trace and browse to the .gtp file.
Reaction trace shows how mineral stability and fluid chemistry evolve as K-feldspar dissolves into the system. End of simulation Start of simulation Check to show markers. Each represents an addition of K-feldspar to the system.
In GWB12, you can overlay multiple reaction traces on Act2 or Tact diagrams. Customize markers and lines for each reaction trace. Each assumes a different silica polymorph forms, which affects stable mineral assemblages. Click add and select the desired .gtp files from React simulations.
