Water activity in the ternary system LiCl–SrCl2–H2O and its sub-binary systems has been
elaborately
measured by the isopiestic method. The measured water activities were
used to justify the reliability of solubility isotherms reported in
literature by correlating them with two thermodynamic models, that
is, the extended Pitzer model and the Pitzer–Simonson–Clegg
model. It was found that the extended Pitzer model cannot correlate
consistently the water activities measured and either set of the solubility
isotherms reported in literature for this concerned system, no matter
how its parameters were adjusted. However, the Pitzer–Simonson–Clegg
model can correlate consistently our measured water activities and
the solubility isotherms reported by the literature (Kydynov et al. Issled. Obl. Khim. Tekhnol. Miner. Solei Okislov
1965, 146–150), which should be more reliable than solubility
data reported in other references.
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.
