The purely empirical equation for the liquidus in the KCl-field in the ternary H2O-NaCl-KCl system is given by a polynomial function in temperature:

$$ x{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}^S}={c_0}+{c_1}\cdot {T_C}+{c_2}\cdot {T_C}^2+{c_3}\cdot {T_C}^3+{c_4}\cdot {T_C}^4 $$
(5a)
$$ {c_i}=\sum\limits_j {{c_{ij }}\cdot {{{\left( {{R_{NaCl }}} \right)}}^j}} $$
(5b)

The values of c ij that are given in the text and Table 4 are partly incorrect.

The correct definitions of c i values in Eq. 5a are:

$$ \begin{array}{*{20}c} {{c_0}=94.678-7.46512\cdot \exp \left( {-1.95722\cdot {R_{KCl }}} \right)-15.1276\cdot \exp \left( {-15.1442\cdot {R_{KCl }}} \right)} \\ {{c_1}=-0.0668981-0.107939\cdot \exp \left( {-6.98181\cdot {R_{KCl }}} \right)} \\ {{c_2}=-3.7964\cdot {10^{-5 }}+0.000346\cdot {R_{KCl }}-0.00016211\cdot {{{\left( {{R_{KCl }}} \right)}}^2}} \\ {{c_3}=-7.1777\cdot {10^{-7 }}+3.5629\cdot {10^{-7 }}\cdot {R_{KCl }}} \\ {{c_4}=1.0423\cdot {10^{-10 }}+3.3412\cdot {10^{-10 }}\cdot {R_{NaCl }}-4.3135\cdot {10^{-10 }}\cdot {{{\left( {{R_{NaCl }}} \right)}}^2}} \\ {+1.9585\cdot {10^{-9 }}\cdot {{{\left( {{R_{NaCl }}} \right)}}^3}-8.5994\cdot {10^{-10 }}\cdot {{{\left( {{R_{NaCl }}} \right)}}^4}} \\ \end{array} $$

The wrong numbers are remnants of an older version in the development of this model. All calculations and images that are used in this paper are based on the correct numbers.
