International Kinetic Database (IKD) - a database of summary parameters for more than 450 kinetic tests (humidity cells, columns, and Minewall stations) from over 70 minesites around the world.
-------------------------------------
MDAG ABA Spreadsheet - a spreadsheet for standardized entry and calculation of parameters from acid-base-accounting (ABA). This spreadsheet adheres to the approach standardized in Environmental Geochemistry of Minesite Drainage: Practical Theory and Case Studies
-------------------------------------
MDAG Grain 3.0 - a free-of-charge spreadsheet for calculating the geometric surface areas of grains within a sample, based on sieve analyses. This is useful in determining, for example, grain-surface-area dependencies of kinetic reaction rates, as discussed in Environmental Geochemistry of Minesite Drainage: Practical Theory and Case Studies and used in the International Kinetic Database.
