“…In the inlet of each segment, bulk concentrations of H 2 O, H 3 O + , CO 3 2-and S 2-are calculated by the method of Barreau et al [22]. Concentrations of these components are either too low, such as H 3 O + , CO 3 2-and S 2-, or too high, such as H 2 O, which are reasonably assumed to be invariant until we reach the next segment.…”
