thermo | R Documentation |
Run reset()
to reset all of the data used in CHNOSZ to default values.
This includes the computational settings, thermodynamic database, and system settings (chemical species).
The system settings are changed using basis
and species
.
To clear the system settings (the default, i.e. no species loaded), run basis("")
; to clear only the formed species, run species(delete = TRUE)
The thermodynamic database is changed using add.OBIGT
and mod.OBIGT
.
To restore the default database without altering the species settings, run OBIGT()
.
The computational settings are changed using water
, P.units
, T.units
, E.units
, and some other commands (e.g. mod.buffer
).
All the data are stored in the thermo
data object in an environment named CHNOSZ
.
thermo()
is a convenience function to access or modify parts of this object, in particular some computational settings, for example, thermo("opt$ideal.H" = FALSE)
(see nonideal
).
The source data are provided with CHNOSZ as *.csv
files in the extdata/thermo
and extdata/OBIGT
directories of the package.
These files are used to build the thermo
object, which is described below.

thermo()$opt
List of computational settings.
Square brackets indicate default values.
Note that the units of G.tol
and Cp.tol
depend on the E_units
for each species in thermo()$OBIGT
.
Therefore, species with E_units
of ‘J’ have a lower absolute tolerance for producing messages (because 4.184 J = 1 cal).

thermo()$element
Dataframe containing the thermodynamic properties of elements taken from Cox et al., 1989, Wagman et al., 1982, and (for Am, Pu, Np, Cm) Thoenen et al., 2014.
The standard molal entropy (S
(Z
)) at 25 \degC and 1 bar for the “element” of charge (Z
) was calculated from S
(H2,g) + 2S
(Z
) = 2S
(H+), where the standard molal entropies of H2,g and H+ were taken from Cox et al., 1989.
The mass of Z
is taken to be zero.
Accessing this data frame using mass
or entropy
will select the first entry found for a given element; i.e., values from Wagman et al., 1982 will only be retrieved if the properties of the element are not found from Cox et al., 1989.

thermo()$OBIGT
This dataframe is a thermodynamic database of standard molal thermodynamic properties and equations of state parameters of species. “OrganoBioGeoTherm” is the name of a Windows GUI interface to SUPCRT92 that was produced in Harold C. Helgeson's Laboratory of Theoretical Geochemistry and Biogeochemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. The OBIGT database was originally distributed with that program, and was the starting point for the database in CHNOSZ.
Note the following database conventions:
The combination of name
and state
defines a species in thermo()$OBIGT
. A species cannot be duplicated (this is checked when running reset()
).
English names of inorganic gases are used only for the gas state. The dissolved species is named with the chemical formula. Therefore, info("oxygen")
refers to the gas, and info("O2")
refers to the aqueous species.
Each entry is referenced to one or two literature sources listed in thermo()$refs
.
Use thermo.refs
to look up the citation information for the references.
See the vignette \viglinkOBIGT for a complete description of the sources of data.
The identifying characteristics of species and their standard molal thermodynamic properties at 25 \degC and 1 bar are located in the first 13 columns of thermo()$OBIGT
:
name | character | Species name |
abbrv | character | Species abbreviation |

model
must be one of ‘H2O’, ‘HKF’, ‘CGL’, ‘Berman’, ‘AD’, or ‘DEW’.
‘H2O’ is reserved for liquid water, the properties of which are calculated using one of several available models (see water
).
Most aqueous species use ‘HKF’ (the revised Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers model).
Properties of aqueous species with model
set to ‘AD’ are calculated using the Akinfiev-Diamond model, and those with ‘DEW’ are calculated using the DEW
model.
Many minerals in the default database use the ‘Berman’ model (see Berman
).
All other species use ‘CGL’ (general crystalline, gas, liquid model).
Properties of these species are calculated using a heat capacity function with up to six terms; the exponent on the final term can be defined in the database (see below).
The meanings of the remaining columns depend on the model for each species.
The names of these columns are compounded from those of the parameters in the HKF equations of state and general heat capacity equation; for example, column 13 is named a1.a
.
Scaling of the values by integral powers of ten (i.e., orders of magnitude; OOM) for the HKF parameters (this also includes the DEW model) is based on the usual (but by no means universal) convention in the literature.
Columns 15-22 for aqueous species (parameters in the revised HKF equations of state).
NOTE: Most older papers use units of calories for these parameters, so ‘cal’ is listed here; the actual units for each species are set in the E_units
column.
a1 | numeric | \a1 * 10 (cal mol\S-1 bar\S-1) |
a2 | numeric | \a2 * 10\S-2 (cal mol\S-1) |
a3 | numeric | \a3 (cal K mol\S-1 bar\S-1) |
a4 | numeric | \a4 * 10\S-4 (cal mol\S-1 K) |
c1 | numeric | \c1 (cal mol\S-1 K\S-1) |
c2 | numeric | \c2 * 10\S-4 (cal mol\S-1 K) |
omega | numeric | \omega * 10\S-5 (cal mol\S-1) |
Z | numeric | Charge |
Columns 15-22 for crystalline, gas and liquid species (\Cp = a
+ bT
+ cT
\S-2 + dT
\S-0.5 + eT
\S2 + fT
\Slambda).
NOTE: As of CHNOSZ 2.0.0, OOM scaling for heat capacity coefficients has been removed, and new entries use units of Joules unless indicated by setting E_units
to ‘cal’.
a | numeric | a (J K\S-1 mol\S-1) |
b | numeric | b (J K\S-2 mol\S-1) |
c | numeric | c (J K mol\S-1) |
d | numeric | d (J K\S-0.5 mol\S-1) |
e | numeric | e (J K\S-3 mol\S-1) |
f | numeric | f (J K\S-lambda-1 mol\S-1) |
lambda | numeric | \lambda (exponent on the f term) |
T | numeric | Positive value: Temperature (K) of polymorphic transition or phase stability limit |
T | numeric | Negative value: Opposite of temperature (K) limit of \Cp equation (see \viglinkFAQ for details) |
Columns 15-17 for aqueous species using the Akinfiev-Diamond model. Note that the c
column is used to store the \xi
parameter. Columns 18-22 are not used.
a | numeric | a (cm\S3 g\S-1) |
b | numeric | b (cm\S3 K\S0.5 g\S-1) |
c | numeric | \xi |
d | numeric | XX1 NA |

thermo()$buffers
Dataframe which contains definitions of buffers of chemical activity. Each named buffer can be composed of one or more species, which may include any species in the thermodynamic database and/or any protein. The calculations provided by buffer
do not take into account polymorphic transitions of minerals, so individual polymorphs of such minerals must be specified in the buffers.
name | character | Name of buffer |
species | character | Name of species |
state | character | Physical state of species |
logact | numeric | Logarithm of activity (fugacity for gases) |
thermo()$protein
Data frame of amino acid compositions of selected proteins. Most of the compositions were taken from the SWISS-PROT/UniProt online database (Boeckmann et al., 2003) and the protein and organism names usually follow the conventions adopted there. In some cases different isoforms of proteins are identified using modifications of the protein names; for example, ‘MOD5.M’ and MOD5.N
proteins of ‘YEAST’ denote the mitochondrial and nuclear isoforms of this protein. See pinfo
to search this data frame by protein name, and other functions to work with the amino acid compositions.
protein | character | Identification of protein |
organism | character | Identification of organism |
ref | character | Reference key for source of compositional data |
abbrv | character | Abbreviation or other ID for protein |
chains | numeric | Number of polypeptide chains in the protein |
Ala ...Tyr | numeric | Number of each amino acid in the protein |
thermo()$groups
This is a dataframe with 22 columns for the amino acid sidechain, backbone and protein backbone groups ([Ala]..[Tyr],[AABB],[UPBB]) whose rows correspond to the elements C, H, N, O, S. It is used to quickly calculate the chemical formulas of proteins that are selected using the iprotein
argument in affinity
.
thermo()$basis
Initially NULL
, reserved for a dataframe written by basis
upon definition of the basis species. The number of rows of this dataframe is equal to the number of columns in “...” (one for each element).
... | numeric | One or more columns of stoichiometric |
coefficients of elements in the basis species | ||
ispecies | numeric | Rownumber of basis species in thermo()$OBIGT |
logact | numeric | Logarithm of activity or fugacity of basis species |
state | character | Physical state of basis species |
thermo()$species
Initially NULL
, reserved for a dataframe generated by species
to define the species of interest. The number of columns in “...” is equal to the number of basis species (i.e., rows of thermo()$basis
).
... | numeric | One or more columns of stoichiometric |
coefficients of basis species in the species of interest | ||
ispecies | numeric | Rownumber of species in thermo()$OBIGT |
logact | numeric | Logarithm of activity or fugacity of species |
state | character | Physical state of species |
name | character | Name of species |
thermo()$stoich
A precalculated stoichiometric matrix for the default database. This is a matrix, not a data frame, and as such can accept duplicated row names, corresponding to chemical formulas of the species. See retrieve
, and the first test in inst/tinytest/test-retrieve.R
for how to update this.
rownames | character | Chemical formulas from thermo()$OBIGT |
... | numeric | Stoichiometry, one column for each element present in any species |
thermo()$Bdot_acirc
Values of ion size parameter (\AA) for species, taken from the UT_SIZES.REF file of the HCh package (Shvarov and Bastrakov, 1999), which is based on Table 2.7 of Garrels and Christ, 1965.
This is used in nonideal
with the default ‘Bdot’ method.
Custom ion size parameters can be added to this vector; to override a default value for a species, either replace the numeric value for that species or prepend a named numeric value (for duplicated species, the first value is used).
See demo("yttrium")
for an example of adding and overriding species.
thermo()$Berman
A data frame with thermodynamic parameters for minerals in the Berman equations, assembled from files in ‘extdata/Berman’ and used in Berman
.
To enable the calculation of thermodynamic properties of polymorphic transitions, higher-temperature polymorphs of minerals are listed in OBIGT with states ‘cr2’, ‘cr3’, etc.
The standard thermodynamic properties of high-temperature polymorphs at 25 \degC and 1 bar are apparent values that are consistent with given values of enthalpy of transition (where available) at the transition temperature (T_{tr}
).
See the \viglinkFAQ question “How can minerals with polymorphic transitions be added to the database?” for details of the retrieval of standard thermodynamic properties of polymorphs used in OBIGT.
