Abstract

The chemical behaviour of salts in complex hydrothermal fluids is not well understood over most of the P-T conditions of geochemical interest. This study of the behaviour of electrolyte components in complex fluid mixtures over a range of pressures and temperatures is designed to help to decipher the physico-chemical conditions of natural hydrothermal processes. The information is also necessary to test and develop new equations of state for hydrothermal fluids.
