Calculate Dissolved Copper Concentration

Source: R/dissolve_cu.R
dissolve_cu.Rd

This function takes a water defined by defined_water and output a column of dissolved copper. It is an empirical model developed based on bench-scale copper solubility testing that can be used to predict copper levels as a function of pH, DIC, and orthophosphate. For a single water, use dissolve_cu; to apply the model to a dataframe use dissolve_cu_df.

Usage

dissolve_cu(water)

Source

Lytle et al (2018)

Arguments

water

Source water object of class "water" created by define_water. Water must include ph and dic

Value

dissolve_cu returns a column containing dissolved copper concentration in mg/L.

Details

Dissolved copper is a function of pH, DIC, and PO4. Output units are in mg/L.

Examples


example_cu <- define_water(ph = 7.5, alk = 125, tot_po4 = 2) %>%
  dissolve_cu()
