“…There is a large number of experimental data available for H 2 O-NaCl, many of them also describing the behavior at high temperatures and pressures (e.g., Adams, 1931;Keevil, 1942;Ö lander and Liander, 1950;Benson et al, 1953;Martynova and Samoilov, 1957;Lemmlein and Klevtsov, 1961;Sourirajan and Kennedy, 1962;Khaibullin and Borisov, 1966;Marshall and Jones, 1974;Urusova, 1974Urusova, , 1975Hilbert, 1979;Galobardes et al, 1981;Grant-Taylor, 1981;Parisod and Plattner, 1981;Gehrig et al, 1983;Gunter et al, 1983;Wood et al, 1984;Bodnar et al, 1985;Bischoff et al, 1986;Rosenbauer and Bischoff, 1987;Bischoff and Rosenbauer, 1988;Majer et al, 1988;Sterner et al, 1988;White et al, 1988;Knight and Bodnar, 1989;Marshall, 1990;Koster van Groos, 1991;Majer et al, 1991;Tkachenko and Shmulovich, 1992;Armellini and Tester, 1993;Crovetto et al, 1993;Mok, 1993;Ho et al, 1994;Simonson et al, 1994;Kravchuk and Tö dheide, 1996). For other water-salt systems, such data are far more limited but phase boundaries are only moderately shifted by the presence of other major solutes such as KCl (Hovey et al, 1990;…”
