ABSTRACT: Chloride salts and their solutions are common on Earth and perhaps on other solar system bodies. To better understand the effects of freezing and evaporation on mineral formation and the composition of residual brines in chloride salt systems, we developed a comprehensive Pitzer model in the Na-K-Ca-Mg-Cl system valid from 298.15 to
