  1. The mineralogy of the CRB has been described in [25, 32] and the weight fraction of pyroxene, feldspar and glass was estimated as average values from the reported data.
  2. 1Solid solutions. En (enstatite), Fs (ferrosilite), Wo (wollastonite), An (anorthite), Ank (ankerite), Do (dolomite). For details on the calculations of the ankerite solid solution see [31].
  3. 2Superscript 0 denotes Standard state (T = 298K, P = 1 atm). The equilibrium constant log K value is that for the forward dissolution reaction for one mole unit of the mineral.
  4. 3All thermodynamic data (log K and coefficients for the PHREEQC analytical temperature expression) from the llnl.dat PHREEQC database, except for the solid-solutions first estimated in PHREEQC by ideal solid solutions and then added to the PHREEQC database as new solid solution phases.
