Abstract: Salt lake brine is a complex salt-water system under natural environment. Although many models can express the thermodynamic properties and phase equilibrium of electrolyte aqueous solution, the multi-temperature characteristics and predictability are still the goals of model development. In this study, a comprehensive thermodynamic model system is re-established based on the eNRTL model and some improvements: (1) new expression of long-range electrostatic term with symmetrical reference state is proposed to handle the electrolyte solution covering entire concentration range; (2) the temperature dependence of the binary interaction parameters is formulated with a Gibbs Helmholtz expression containing three temperature coefficients, the liquid parameters, which associated with Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and heat capacity contribution; and (3) liquid parameters and solid species data are regressed from properties and solubility data at full temperature range. Together the activity coefficient model, property models and parameters of liquid and solid offer a comprehensive thermodynamic model system for the typical bittern of MgCl2-CaCl2-H2O binary and ternary systems, and it shows excellent agreement with the literature data for the ternary and binary systems. The successful prediction of complete phase diagram of ternary system shows that the model has the ability to deal with high concentration and high non-ideality system, and the ability to extrapolate the temperature.
