Prediction of high-temperature thermodynamic properties of mixed electrolyte solutions including solubility equilibria, vapor pressure depression and boiling point elevation

The Pitzer ion-interaction model, which is theoretically derived but uses empirical parameters evaluated from experimental data on binary and ternary aqueous mixtures, is shown to accurately predict thermodynamic properties of aqueous eletrolytes to high temperatures and concentrations and for more complex compositions. Applications of the model include calculations of solubility equilibria, vapor pressures and boiling points of electrolyte mixtures. Examples of these calculations are given below. 32 refs., 5 figs., 2 tabs.
