In order to write a parameter value to the PHREEQC output file, AquaChem v5.1 must know which database parameter corresponds to the PHREEQC master species parameter. This is defined within the thermodynamic database (i.e. phreeqc.dat). If a master species can be mapped to a AquaChem parameter, then the AquaChem parameter name has to be added at the end of the line as a comment (#parameter name). If one or more parameters has not being added, the link to the parameter is likely missing. Please open the phreeqc.dat file, or the thermodynamic database you are using and add #[parametername] in AquaChem at the end of the line. Start AquaChem again using the phreeqc.dat file in the following format.
