Scope OLIs two thermodynamic models: aqueous and MSE Outline of the mixed-solvent electrolyte (MSE) thermodynamic model Application highlights Summary of MSE databanks Predictive character of the model Modeling transport properties New model for thermal conductivity Model and databank development plans

Structure of OLI thermodynamic models (both aqueous and MSE) Definition of species that may exist in the liquid, vapor, and solid phases Excess Gibbs energy model for solution nonideality Calculation of standard-state properties Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers-Tanger equation for ionic and neutral aqueous species Standard thermochemistry for solid and gas species Algorithm for solving phase and chemical equilibria

OLI Thermodynamic Models: Aqueous and MSE The difference between the models lies in Solution nonideality model Methodology for defining and regressing parameters Aqueous model Solution nonideality model suitable for solutions with ionic strength below ~30 molal and nonelectrolyte mole fraction below ~0.3 Extensive track record and large databank MSE model Solution nonideality model eliminates composition limitations Development started in 2000 and model became commercial in early 2006 Smaller, but rapidly growing databank Includes many important systems not covered by the aqueous model

MSE Framework Thermophysical framework to calculate Phase equilibria and other properties in aqueous and mixed-solvent electrolyte systems Electrolytes from infinite dilution to the fused-salt limit Aqueous, non-aqueous and mixed solvents Temperatures up to 0.9 critical temperature of the system Chemical equilibria Speciation of ionic solutions Reactions in solid-liquid systems

MSE thermodynamic model: Application highlights Predicting deliquescence of Na – K – Mg – Ca – Cl – NO 3 brines Challenge: Simultaneous representation of water activity and solubility for concentrated multicomponent solutions based on parameters determined from binary and selected ternary data Phase behavior of borate systems Challenge: Complexity of SLE patterns; multiple phases Properties of transition metal systems Challenge: Interplay between speciation and phase behavior

Na – K – Mg – Ca – Cl – NO 3 system Step 1: Binary systems – solubility of solids The model is valid for systems ranging from dilute to the fused salt limit NaNO 3 – H 2 O Mg(NO 3 ) 2 – H 2 O

Na – K – Mg – Ca – Cl – NO 3 system: Step 1: Binary systems – water activity Deliquescence experiments Water activity decreases with salt concentration until the solution becomes saturated with a solid phase (which corresponds to the deliquescence point)

Step 2: Ternary systems Solubility in the system NaNO 3 – KNO 3 – H 2 O at various temperatures Activity of water over saturated NaNO 3 – KNO 3 solutions at 90 C: Strong depression at the eutectic point

Step 3: Verification of predictions for multicomponent systems Deliquescence data simultaneously reflect solid solubilities and water activities Break points reflect solid- liquid transitions Mixed nitrate systems at 140 C

Predictive character of the model Levels of prediction Prediction of the properties of multicomponent systems based on parameters determined from simpler (especially binary) subsystems Extensively validated for salts and organics Subject to limitations due to chemistry changes (e.g. double salts) Prediction of certain properties based on parameters determined from other properties Extensively validated (e.g.,speciation or caloric property predictions)
