Phase equilibria of the quaternary systems (KCl + CaCl 2 + SrCl 2 + H 2 O) and (LiCl + NaCl + SrCl 2 + H 2 O) at 288.15 K and 0.1 MPa were studied using the isothermal dissolution method, and the phase diagrams of the two systems mentioned above were plotted. There are two invariant points and four crystallization regions in the quaternary system (KCl + CaCl 2 + SrCl 2 + H 2 O). Besides the crystallization regions of the minerals KCl, CaCl 2 •6H 2 O, and SrCl 2 •6H 2 O, the solid solution (Ca,Sr)Cl 2 •6H 2 O was found. The strontium and calcium salts can be separated from each other by avoiding crystallization in the solid solution region. There are two invariant points and four crystallization regions corresponding to NaCl, SrCl 2 • 6H 2 O, SrCl 2 •2H 2 O, and LiCl•2H 2 O in the quaternary system (LiCl + NaCl + SrCl 2 + H 2 O). Lithium chloride has a strong salting-out effect on NaCl and SrCl 2 •6H 2 O. The experiment results of the quaternary systems (KCl + CaCl 2 + SrCl 2 + H 2 O) and (LiCl + NaCl + SrCl 2 + H 2 O) have a significant value for separating and purifying minerals from the oilfield brine in the Nanyishan Section of the Qaidam Basin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
