A community model for calculating gas/liquid/solid partitioning in aerosol systems containing inorganic and organic components and water, and solute and solvent activities in aqueous solutions and liquid mixtures.
The purpose of this project is to provide reference thermodynamic models for gas/liquid/solid equilibrium calculations. The models are mainly for use in aerosol science research and teaching - particularly in air quality and climate science - but also for scientists and students with an interest in solution thermodynamics generally. Many of the data used to develop the model are tabulated on this site. See the model description for details of the physico-chemical system treated and the options available to users.
