Scientific paper

Stability diagrams have been frequently used to demonstrate aluminium solubility controls in acidic stream and soil waters. This paper shows that it is possible by this method to generate apparent controls using random numbers in place of stream chemistry data. Thermodynamic arguments demonstrate that a wide variety of reactions can produce relationships similar to Al(OH)3 solubility controls. It is proposed that stability diagrams alone should be used with great caution in identifying aluminium solubility controls, taking care that their axes are independent. Thermodynamic solubility calculations should be used with due scepticism. Supplementary investigations should be used where possible to identify phases precipitating or dissolving.
