Isopiestic Determination and Simulation of Water Activity in the LiCl−KCl−H2O Ternary System at 323.15 K

Abstract In this work, the equal-water activities for the ternary system LiCl−KCl−H 2 O and its sub-binary systems LiCl−H 2 O were determined using an isopiestic method at 323.15 K. The determined isopiestic composition lines for the LiCl−KCl−H 2 O system were found to deviated Zdanovskii rule high with increasing ionic strength of the mixture solution. The addition of KCl to an aqueous solution of LiCl was found to decrease and increase the water activity at low and high LiCl molality. The Pitzer–Simonson–Clegg (PSC) model was used to represent the experimental determined water activities of the titled system and the calculated values are discussed. Based on the calculated results, the turning point appears at about 17.0 mol kg −1 LiCl solution.
