title: Statistical associating fluid theory coupled with restrictive primitive model extended to bivalent ions. SAFT2: 2. Brine/seawater properties predicted.
abstract: Statistical associating fluid theory coupled with restricted primitive model (SAFT2) represents the properties of aqueous multiple-salt solutions, such as brine/seawater. The osmotic coefficients, densities, and vapor pressures are predicted without any additional parameters using the salt hydrated diameters obtained for single-salt solutions. For a given ion composition of brine, the predicted vapor pressure, osmotic coefficient, activity of water, and density are found to agree with the experimental data.
