Experimental equilibrium brackets have been obtained in H/sub 2/O-CO/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/O-CO/sub 2/-NaCl fluids for several decarbonation equilibria. Using available thermodynamic data and activities for H/sub 2/O and CO/sub 2/ calculated from the modified hard-sphere Redlich-Kwong (HSMRK) equation of Kerrick and Jacobs (1981), thermodynamic extrapolations in P-T-X/sub CO/sub 2// space of devolatilization equilibria yield close agreement with the experimental equilibrium brackets, implying that the experimental and thermodynamic data are internally consistent, and that the activities of H/sub 2/O and CO/sub 2/ predicted by the HSMRK equation of Kerrick and Jacobs (1981) are quite reasonable. The significance of assuming ideal vs. non-ideal mixing of H/sub 2/O and CO/sub 2/ for the calculation of T-X/sub CO/sub 2// topologies is demonstrated for a portion of the system CaO-Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-SiO/sub 2/-H/sub 2/O-CO/sub 2/. Experiments in H/sub 2/O-CO/sub 2/-NaCl mixtures at P=6 kbar show that, compared to binary H/sub 2/O-CO/sub 2/ fluids, the presence of small (5-10 wt.%) amounts of NaCl in the fluid phase significantly increase the activity of CO/sub 2/ for H/sub 2/O-rich compositions. At 2 kbar, however, little difference in the activity of CO/sub 2/ in H/sub 2/O-CO/sub 2/-NaCl vs. H/sub 2/O-CO/sub 2/ mixtures is implied by the experiments.
