ABSTRACT
In this work, the solubility of sodium chloride was investigated by using a continuous flow method over the temperature and pressure ranges of (568 to 598) K and (10 to 25) MPa, respectively. The results showed that the solubility of sodium chloride increased with increasing of the water density. In general, over the low-density ranges, the increase of solubility is not significant. Whereas, over the high-density ranges, the solubility greatly increases with density. The experimental solubility data were also correlated with seven empirical and semi-empirical models (Empirical, Enthalpy, Cp-, Flory-Huggins, Ionization, Second-order polynomial and Third-order polynomial models). The correlated results indicated that Second-order polynomial model provided the best fit. The solubility data of sodium chloride in sub-, near- and supercritical water from this work and literature were collected with a view to evaluating the correlative and predictive capability of these models over a wide range. Enthalpy model gave the best correlated and predicted result with respect to the solubilities in near- and supercritical water. In whole region, Third-order polynomial model was proved is the most suitable model. Moreover, the corrosion behavior of apparatus was characterized using SEM/EDS, XRD and XPS methods and the possible corrosion mechanism is also briefly discussed.
