Abstract:

Solubilities of the quaternary system containing lithium, sodium, magnesium and chloride at 273.15 K were calculated using Pitzer ion-interaction model and its extended HW model. The values of the Pitzer single-salt parameters β(0), β(1), β(2) and Cφ for LiCl, NaCl, and MgCl2, the mixed ion-interaction parameters θLi,Mg, θLi,Na, θNa,Mg, ψLi,Mg,Cl, ψLi,Na,Cl and ψNa,Mg,Cl, and the Debye–Hückel parameter Aφ in the quaternary system at 273.15K were derived. Based on the Jänecke indexes, the phase diagram was plotted. This study affords the necessary parameters for solubility predictions of complicated systems and establishes a theoretical basis for the separation of these valuable minerals from salt lake brine.
