Solubilities of the reciprocal quaternary system (Li+, Mg2+//Cl-, SO42-–H2O) at 273.15K were calculated using Pitzer and its extended HW model. The values of the Pitzer single-salt parameters β(0), β(1), β(2)and Cφfor LiCl, MgCl2, Li2SO4, and MgSO4, the mixed ion-interaction parameters θLi,Mg, θCl,SO4, ψLi,Mg,Cl, ψLi,Mg,SO4, ψLi,Cl,SO4and ψMg,Cl,SO4, and the Debye–Hückel parameter Aφin the system at 273.15K were derived either temperature-dependent equation or through fitting solubility data of the ternary system by multiple linear regression method. Based on the Jänecke indexes, the phase diagram was plotted. This study affords the necessary parameters for solubility predictions of complicated systems and establishes a theoretical basis for the separation of these valuable minerals from salt lake brine.
