Abstract

Minerals studied by an equilibrium model with a single mineral are similar to those studied in solid-solution models with q end-members. After discussing solid-solution models with q end-members where the limits of this kind of models are specified, the mathematical relations between the two kinds of models are developed. These relations show that the equilibrium model with a single mineral is compatible with the geochemical assumption of solid-solution. A method for estimation of equilibrium between a single mineral and a homogeneous set of aqueous solutions is proposed.
