Abstract

The solubility of Pt(cr) in acidic chloride solutions was measured at 400–475°C and P = 0.8–1.0 kbar using an autoclave technique and the analysis of the dissolved component after quenching. The PtCl 3 complex was identified as the main Pt species at experimental parameters, m(NaCl) = 0.1–3.0 mol/kg H2O and m(HCl) ∼0.01. The thermodynamic parameters of the Helgeson-Kirkham-Flowers (HKF) model were determined for Pt2+ and Pt-Cl complexes (PtCl 2−n n n = 1–4) by analysis of literature data and their adjustment with obtained results. The solubility of Pt under supercritical P-T parameters calculated using these parameters is similar to Pd solubility. The thermodynamic properties and HKF model parameters for aqueous species determined in this study were incorporated into the on-line version of the FreeGC database (http://www-b.ga.gov.au/minerals/research/methodology/geofluids/freegs_about.jsp), which allows calculation of the Gibbs free energy of system components and equilibrium constants of reactions with these species.
