In
this work, the phase equilibrium solubility data of a quaternary
system NaCl–NH4Cl–MgCl2–H2O and its two ternary subsystems (NaCl–NH4Cl–H2O and NaCl–MgCl2–H2O) were measured by an isothermal solubility equilibrium method
and a wet slag method. For the two ternary subsystems (NaCl–NH4Cl–H2O and NaCl–MgCl2–H2O), the solubility of the equilibrium liquid phase and physical
properties (density and viscosity) are determined: this system is
simple, contains a cosaturated point and three crystalline regions,
and the solubility experiment data is compared with the literature
values, fitting the invariant point under different temperatures.
It can provide basic data for a brine system containing ammonium chloride,
sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, and so on. The solubility of
the quaternary system NaCl–MgCl2–NH4Cl–H2O was measured by an isothermal method, and
the corresponding phase diagrams were drawn. From the phase diagrams,
it is found that there are two cosaturated points and four solid-phase
crystalline zones; the solid-phase crystallization region corresponds
to NaCl, MgCl2·6H2O, NH4Cl,
and MgCl2·NH4Cl·6H2O, respectively.
The system can guide the dehydration and deamination of ammonium carnallite
to produce anhydrous magnesium chloride.
