CHEAQS Next is the next generation of the speciation program
CHEAQS Pro. The current version of CHEAQS Next is 2019.3, dated
24 September 2019.
The current plan is to stop development of the current 32-bit
version and to focus entirely on a new version which will only
run on 64-bit systems. A first version (still very incomplete)
is available for 'sneak preview'.
This version has five more amino acids added to the database so
ten in total.
This version has five amino acids added to the database. In
addition, a bug was fixed that caused adsorption to be skipped
when organic complexation was also included.
This version has DTPA added to the database. In addition, some
small bugs were fixed.
This version has citrate added to the database. In addition,
some errors in the database as well as some small bugs were
fixed.
A fourth model for organic complexation was added, the one
developed by Cabaniss & Shuman (1988). Furthermore,
equilibrium definitions for gas-solution-equilibria can be
displayed. Also, a utility was added to delete user files in
case the program is uninstalled.
Two more titration types were added, including a real chemical
titration with volume change. Also, titration graphs can be
shown in log-mode.
A third titration type is added.
Pie graphs added as output option, log-values show during
output and some bug fixes.
Main new feature is the option to add items to the database
interactively.
You can manipulate the database by removing or changing cations, ligands and species in an entirely new, easy-to-use interface (adding items to the database is foreseen for the near future).
In addition, CHEAQS Next remembers recent input and output files (if you like).
Convergence for high ionic strength samples was improved.
A bug causing a fresh installed program to hang was corrected.
Sorry for inconvenience.
Some features that are included in CHEAQS Pro are not yet implemented in CHEAQS Next, such as calibrations.
