Abstract
Experimental measurements of the solubility of sodium sulfate in aqueous solutions containing both sodium chloride and sulfuric acid in the temperature range 250 to 374°C are reported. These measurements have been combined with previous data on the solubility of sodium sulfate in water, in aqueous sodium chloride, and in sulfuric acid solutions to produce a comprehensive model describing the solubility of sodium sulfate in such solutions. Calculations and predictions of solubility, vapor pressure, boiling point elevation, acidity, and speciation are presented. This model is of fundamental interest in itself and also is of importance because the precipitation of sodium sulfate may be a contributing factor in enhancing crevice corrosion in metals exposed to high-temperature water containing chloride and sulfate ions as impurities.
