Description

The recently published database for the EPRI chemical equilibrium model MULTEQ V.8 includes critically reviewed literature on the hydrothermal chemistry of magnetite and other transition metal oxides and ferrites under primary and secondary coolant conditions. This paper reports calculated values for the dependence of magnetite solubility on pH, dissolved hydrogen, and temperature, and their applicability in reviewing strategies for controlling iron transport during normal operation and under conditions encountered during start-up after lay-ups and hot conditioning.
