Sir,
I have a need to learn and apply phase chemistry and mass balances to the
system K, Mg, Na, Cl, SO4, H2O at various temperatures and various %
Saturation's for KCl & NaCl. This includes evaporation schemes to recover
salts from brines. At weaker concentrations I may need to be concerned with
Ca, but most of the work will be done at concentrations where Ca is
essentially insoluble.
I have experience in simple systems like K-Na-Cl-H2O but the above complex
system I have difficulty with. With my limited knowledge I believe the
fields I will have interested in will be glaserite(aphthitalite),
schoenite(picromerite), leonite, kainite, and carnallite in addition to the
KCl and NaCl. Will Web-Phreeqc or another commercial version do this work?
