pH diagrams¶
A Python package to plot fractional composition diagrams and pH-log c diagrams
Interactive web app:
Installation¶
pip install pH-diagrams
Usage¶
The class Acid
must be imported from ph_diagrams
. To create diagrams for the
acetic acid:
>>> from ph_diagrams import Acid
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> fig, axs = plt.subplots(nrows=1, ncols=2)
>>> acetic_acid = Acid(pKa=(4.76,), acid_concentration=0.1)
>>> acetic_acid.plot(plot_type='distribution', backend='matplotlib',
title='Acetic acid - Distribution diagram',
ax=axs[0], legend=False)
>>> acetic_acid.plot(plot_type='pC', backend='matplotlib',
title='Acetic acid - pH-log c diagram', ax=axs[1])
>>> plt.show()
As can be seen, the parameter pKa
must be a tuple even if there is only one value.
The above example generates the following plot, with both diagrams side by side:
The plots above were made with Matplotlib, the default backend.
Changing the backend
parameter to plotly
, and removing the ax
parameter
(it works only with Matplotlib), will open a browser window for each plot.
Since Plotly is interactive, the user can zoom, pan, and see values on hover.
Full documentation is hosted on Read the Docs.
A live interactive version of this project can be seen clicking in the following badge:
The web app was made with Streamlit and hosted on Heroku.
A brief explanation on the chemical theory behind each diagram can be seen here.
Local Streamlit app and Jupyter notebooks¶
This repo has Jupyter Notebooks and scripts for a fully functional Streamlit app. First, create a virtual environment, clone the repo and install dependencies:
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
git clone git@github.com:chicolucio/pH-diagrams.git
cd pH-diagrams
pip install -r requirements.txt
This considers that you have Jupyter Notebook installed. If not, install it with
pip install notebook
.
For more basic usage examples, see the tutorial.ipynb
notebook on notebooks
folder.
In the same folder, the tutorial_interactive_ipywidgets.ipynb
file shows how to
use ipywidgets to create interactive diagrams. Just run jupyter notebook
on a
terminal from the repo root folder and select the files.
A local version of the Streamlit app can be used running, from the repo root folder,
streamlit run Home.py
on a terminal. A browser window will open (if not, follow
the instructions shown on the terminal output).
