Hi folks,
I am creating a OpenFOAM CFD solver for struvite precipitation, unfortunately my focus last 5 years was in Mathematical Physics so I am a bit rusty with my chemistry.
So struvite reaction: Mg2+(aq)+ NH4+(aq)+HnPO43-n(aq)+ 6H2O(l) -> MgNH4PO4 * 6 H2O (s) +nH+(aq)
In order to choose the correct computational model, I'm trying to understand thermodynamics of struvite reaction - whther it is exothermo, endothermal or thermoneutral.
My initial understanding was that precipitation reactions are thermoneutral, unfortunately I couldn't find ways to model that, hence decided to seek for some help.
Cheers,
Rhythm
P.S.: let me know if there's any additional info that I need to provide
