In their previous papers (This Journal 14, 227 (1960), 15, 118 (1961), 18, 32 (1964)), the authors carried out a graphical calculation on the change of natural gas brine to be derived from the isothermal evaporation of the brine at 25°C, using the equilibrium diagram of the five components system NaCl-KCl-MgCl
2-CaCl
2-H
2O.
To veryfy the above calculation, they conducted an experimental isothermal evaporation at 25°C of synthetic gas brine which was prepared equal to natural gas brine in components, and obtained fairly good results.
In the present paper, the authors studied the equilibrium values of the ternary system and quaternary system to obtain an equilibrium diagram of the five component system for the calculation of isothermal evaporation of natural gas brine at 50°C. The results obtained were as follows:
1. The isotherms for the ternary system MgCl
2-CaCl
2-H
2O, NaCl-MgCl
2-H
2O and the quaternary system NaCl-MgCl
2-CaCl
2-H
2O were determined at 50°C.
2. The samples of the solutions and solid phases were determined by chemical analysis. The composition of the solid phase was also identified by X-ray diffraction. Close investigation of the equilium value was made.
