Skip tests on CRAN that fail for M1mac and ATLAS (heat capacity and the second derivative of H2O density in ‘tinytest/test-AD.R’).
In the next major release of CHNOSZ (to be version 2.0.0), units of
Joules instead of calories will be used by default for the thermodynamic
properties output by subcrt(). That is, E.units("J") will
be the default setting. User scripts that implicitly depend on the
current default setting of E.units("cal") will need to be modified
to produce expected results after this change is made.
The AD() function, which provides an implementation of the
Akinfiev and Diamond
(2003) equation of state for aqueous nonelectrolytes, now calculates
entropy, heat capacity, and volume in addition to the previously
available Gibbs energy.
For minerals with thermodynamic parameters in the equations of
Berman (1988),
info() with a numeric argument now lists values of G,
H, S, Cp, and V at 25 °C and 1 bar (these
were previously shown as NA). Thanks to Evgeniy Bastrakov for
suggesting both of these changes.
Add H2WO4(aq) and Cp coefficients of scheelite (CaWO4) from Liu et al. (2021).
Add aqueous species in the system Ca-Mg-Na-K-Al-Si-O-H-C-Cl from Miron et al. (2016) and Miron et al. (2017) to ‘GEMSFIT.csv’.
Add pyrobitumen (C54H42) from Helgeson et al. (2009) to ‘organic_cr.csv’.
Move Ar, Xe, CH4, and CO2 from ‘organic_aq.csv’ to ‘inorganic_aq.csv’.
Fix formula of CaCl2 in ‘DEW.csv’. Thanks to Grayson Boyer.
Remove ‘OldAA.csv’ (superseded thermodynamic parameters for amino acids). This file is now available in the JMDplots package.
Tests are now run using the tinytest package.
Add an add argument to basis() to allow adding a
species to an existing set of basis species.
The AkDi() function has been renamed to AD(), and all
variables and data files likewise use the acronym AD. In
particular, the Akinfiev-Diamond model is activated for an aqueous
species by using abbrv = "AD" in thermo()$OBIGT.
Names of functions, variables, and data files now use capitalized Berman, not berman.
In ‘vignettes/multi-metal.Rmd’ (“Diagrams with multiple metals”), add a link to the associated paper (Dick, 2021).
Remove maxdiff() and expect_maxdiff(), previously
used in tests.
Remove read.blast(), id.blast(),
write.blast(), def2gi(), and example files in
‘extdata/bison’.
Remove eqdata(), a script for extracting data from EQ3/6
output files.
Add demo/Pourbaix.R (Eh-pH diagrams with isosolubility lines, after Pourbaix, 1974). This demo depends on the following two changes.
Revise solubility() to enable calculating overall (i.e.
minimum) solubility for multiple minerals. Calculations for multiple
minerals are also now used in demo/zinc.R.
Restore lty.aq and lty.cr arguments to
diagram() to control plotting of aq-aq and cr-cr field boundaries.
Add no.organics argument to OBIGT() to load the
thermodynamic database without organic species.
OBIGT/Berman_cr.csv: Where possible, use standard abbreviations for mineral names (including hematite (Hem) and magnetite (Mag)), as listed by Whitney and Evans (2010).
OBIGT/organic_aq.csv: Add properties of aqueous fatty acids, saccharides, and other species, and add associated demo/E_coli.R (Gibbs energy of biomass synthesis in E. coli, after LaRowe and Amend, 2016).
OBIGT/inorganic_aq.csv: Add properties of aqueous Nb and Ta species from Akinfiev et al., 2020.
OBIGT/inorganic_cr.csv: Add willemite (Zn2SiO4) from Robie and Hemingway, 1995 and Barin et al., 1977 (heat capacity equation).
OBIGT/inorganic_cr.csv: Move alunite here from SUPCRT92.csv.
thermo/protein.csv: Rename CDC2_HUMAN to CDK1_HUMAN (UniProt: P06493).
Automatic detection of dissociation reactions was fragile and has
been removed from solubility(). The new default (dissociate
= FALSE) is to not consider dissociation reactions.
In the return value of diagram(), predominant.values
previously only contained affinities (extracted from the values
element of the eout argument). Now it has the values for the
predominant species extracted from the values actually used to make the
plot (the plotvals list in the output), i.e. affinities divided
by the balancing coefficients if eout is the output of
affinity, or activities if eout is the output of
equilibrate. Therefore it can now be used to draw contours or a
color image showing the activities of the predominant species. This is
used for a diagram in a new preprint
(Dick, 2021).
Revise multi-metal.Rmd: Improve mineral abbreviations and placement of labels; use updated DFT energies from Materials Project; add Mosaic Stacking 2 (minerals and aqueous species); add Keff calculation (Robinson et al., 2021); add ΔGpbx color scale.
Rename demo/berman.R to demo/potassium.R.
Remove unused limSolve package from Suggests in DESCRIPTION.
Add option thermo()$opt$ionize.aa to control calculation of
properties of ionized proteins in affinity().
Fix bug where protein ionization calculations with
ionize.aa() were incorrectly affected by the setting of
E.units().
The Akinfiev-Diamond model is now activated by setting abbrv
= "AkDi" for any aqueous species, instead of setting the charge
(z) to NA. This simplifies the more common use case of adding a
custom aqueous species to OBIGT with mostly NA parameters.
Remove bases2 argument from mosaic() (old backward
compatibility feature).
An add argument has been added to species().
With the default of add = FALSE, loading new species now
causes any existing species definition to be deleted. To add
species to an existing system, use add = TRUE. With this change,
scripts can be made more concise because species(delete =
TRUE) is no longer needed to clear the species definition in a series
of calculations for different systems.
The naming convention for methane has changed. The name
methane now applies exclusively to the gas; the formula
CH4 without a state continues to represent the aqueous species.
This behavior is consistent with inorganic gases but differs from most
organic substances, where the name refers to the aqueous species. This
change was made because in the past there was no way to use info()
or subcrt() with a single character argument to identify gaseous
methane, which is common in geochemistry. (Note that info("CH4",
"gas") can still be used.) A hack to revert to the old behavior, where
methane refers primarily to the aqueous species, is
mod.OBIGT(info("CH4"), name = "methane").
The all-uppercase acronym OBIGT is used everywhere it
appears in file, function, and object names. In particular, the
thermodynamic database now is located at thermo()$OBIGT, and
functions add.OBIGT() and mod.OBIGT() replace the previous
add.obigt() and mod.obigt().
The new default of NULL for limit.water in
diagram() causes the main diagram to be overlaid on the fields of
water stability (white) and instability (gray). Change this to
TRUE to obtain the previous default of masking all parts of the
diagram outside of the water stability field.
Add function mash() for combining two diagrams for different systems (i.e., simple overlay of diagrams for two single-metal systems).
Add function mix() for combining two single-metal diagrams with a third diagram for bimetallic species. This can be used to produce diagrams for a binary system with fixed composition of the metals.
Add function rebalance() for making a new diagram by secondary balancing between two systems.
Add a stable argument to mosaic() to use previously
calculated stabilities of species (e.g. minerals) for the changing basis
species. This allows mosaic() calculations to be linked in series
(or "stacked"), for instance to sequentially add metals (Fe, then Cu) to
a diagram.
Add vignette multi-metal.Rmd for examples that use these new features to make diagrams for systems with multiple metals (specifically Fe-V and Fe-Cu).
Dates in the date column have been converted to use ISO 8601
extended format (e.g. 2020-08-16). The accessory function today(),
to render the current date using the previous format, has been removed.
Update species parameters for the 2019 version of the Deep Earth Water (DEW) model (Huang and Sverjensky, 2019).
inorganic_aq.csv, inorganic_aq.csv: Add arsenopyrite, loellingite, westerveldite, and aqueous As(OH)3 and AsO(OH)3 from Perfetti et al., 2008.
inorganic_aq.csv: Add Co-chloride species from Liu et al., 2018.
inorganic_aq.csv: Add metal carbonate and bicarbonate complexes and FeSO4 from St Clair et al., 2019.
inorganic_cr.csv: Add wustite, manganese, and Mn oxides (manganosite, pyrolusite, bixbyite, and hausmannite) from Robie and Hemingway, 1995.
inorganic_cr.csv: Add amorphous Mn(OH)2 from Wagman et al., 1982 (GHS) and Senoh et al., 1998 (estimated Cp values).
inorganic_cr.csv: Add huebnerite (MnWO4) from Liu and Xiao, 2020.
inorganic_cr.csv: Add linnaeite (Co3S4) and Co-pentlandite (Co9S8) from Vaughan and Craig, 1978 and cattierite (CoS2) and cobalt from Robie and Hemingway, 1995.
Add GHS and Cp at 25 °C for almandine, dickite, fluorphlogopite, glaucophane, grunerite, halloysite, larnite, pyrope (SUPCRT92.csv) and bromellite (inorganic_cr.csv) from Robie and Hemingway, 1995.
inorganic_cr.csv: Correct formulas for number of H2O in some As-bearing minerals.
SUPCRT92.csv: Change lowercase to uppercase "A" (Angstrom) in names of minerals with suffixes indicating interlayer spacing (amesite, clinochlore, cronstedtite, daphnite).
Remove bracketed suffixes in references (e.g. [S92] was used to indicate that the data first appeared in SUPCRT92).
Use uncompressed data files (i.e. .csv, not .csv.xz) and rename DEW_aq.csv to DEW.csv.
The package is now installed with the bibtex file for the OBIGT database (docs/OBIGT.bib), which is used by the logKcalc package (https://github.com/jedick/logKcalc).
thermo/element.csv: Add entropies for Am, Pu, Cm, Np from Thoenen et al., 2014 (The PSI/Nagra Chemical Thermodynamic Database 12/07).
Add demo/comproportionation.R: Gibbs energy of sulfur comproportionation, after Amend et al., 2020.
Add demo/zinc.R: Solubilities of multiple minerals (zincite and sphalerite).
Revise and simplify anintro.Rmd and equilibrium.Rmd (converted from equilibrium.Rnw).
Revise OBIGT.Rmd to reduce the size of the HTML file and make deep linking to individual sections work.
Add viglink Rd macro so HTML versions of Rd files can link to vignettes.
Remove vignette hotspring.Rnw and demos bison.R and bugstab.R. The material is now in the bison.Rmd vignette and bugstab.R demo in the JMDplots package (https://github.com/jedick/JMDplots).
New demo berman.R, extracted from berman.Rd.
Revise demo mosaic.R to use mash() to show S and C
species together, make better use of transparency, and dy argument
to adjust positions of labels.
Change default resolution in affinity() from 128 to 256.
This greatly improves the appearance of diagrams made with the default
settings.
which.pmax() was rewritten to speed up identification of
predominant species, and the drawing of field boundaries in diagram()
was made more efficient. The latter change has prompted the removal of
the lty.aq and lty.cr arguments from diagram().
Add a bottom argument to ratlab() to allow changing
the ion in the denominator to something other than H+.
The srt, dx (new), and dy arguments in
diagram() can now be used to rotate and adjust the position of
field labels, not only line labels. This and other arguments
(cex, col, col.names, font,
family, bold, italic) can have length > 1 to
apply different settings to each species.
Add a min.area argument to diagram() to specify the
minimum area of fields that should be labeled. This is useful for
removing labels from small fields on crowded diagrams.
The list returned by diagram() now includes a
predominant.values component, which has the affinities of the
predominant species at each grid point. This can be used as shown in the
multi-metal.Rmd vignette to compute the Pourbaix energy
(ΔGpbx) for a metastable material.
subcrt(): replace action.unbalanced argument with
autobalance, which now provides the ability to prevent
autobalancing.
Setting the water model with water() updates the literature
references in thermo()$OBIGT.
thermo.refs() shows CHNOSZ version and date.
subcrt() and affinity() use degree symbol
(°C) in messages.
Change thermo$... to thermo()$... in messages and
comments.
mosaic() now allows a blend argument of length > 1 to
apply a specific setting to each group of basis species.
Fix palply.Rd for new warning about “Non-file
package-anchored link(s) in documentation object” in R CMD
check.
Remove wjd() (implementation of Gibbs energy minimization
method from White et al., 1958)
and demo wjd.R and supporting data file.
Add "QCa" as a keyword for preset species in basis()
(glutamine, cysteine, acetic acid, H2O, O2).
Add T and P arguments to retrieve() to
require that species have non-NA values of standard Gibbs energy at this
temperature and pressure.
Change defaults in mod.buffer() to be more suitable for
mineral buffers (state = "cr" and logact = 0).
Remove extdata/supcrt (scripts to read SUPCRT data files).
Convert this NEWS file to Rd format.
