# Reaktoro Welcome to the documentation for Reaktoro, an open source computational framework developed in C++ and Python to simulate chemically reactive processes. Reaktoro has been designed from the ground up to be a flexible and extensible computational modeling framework for simulating chemical reactions. Reaktoro's algorithms for chemical equilibrium and chemical kinetics calculations can be applied in a wide variety of modeling applications, from geochemical modeling of water-gas-rock systems to modeling the combustion of energetic materials. Examples of specific and broad applications that Reaktoro can be useful for include, but are not limited to: * speciation calculations in aqueous electrolyte solutions, seawater, groundwater * dissolution of gas in aqueous solutions * mineral dissolution and precipitation in aqueous solutions * mixing of aqueous and/or gaseous solutions * evaporation processes * ion exchange processes * kinetically controlled reactions (e.g., mineral, aqueous, gaseous reactions) * adiabatic flame temperatures at constant pressure or volume * thermodynamic modeling of cement hydration and corrosion in concrete * ore formation processes * hydrometallurgical process * fluid-rock chemical reactions in geothermal energy systems * scaling in wells due to mineral precipitation * carbon storage in geological media via solubility and mineral trapping mechanisms * geological disposal of radioactive waste Reaktoro can also be coupled with other software (e.g. reservoir simulators) to model even more complex processes such as: * reactive transport in porous media at pore or reservoir scale * reactive fluid flow for combustion modeling ```{tableofcontents} ```
