This paper describes the results of a solubility study of strontium sulfate in sodium chloride brine. A predictive equation for the solubility of strontium sulfate is presented, which is useful for calculating solubility in water containing 0 to 200 g/L (0 to 200 g/dm/sup 3/) sodium chloride at temperatures from 100 to 300/sup 0/ F (38 to 149/sup 0/ C), with pressures from 100 to 3,000 psig (689 to 20 684 kPa), and total ionic strengths of 0 to 3.43. This paper also describes the experimental technique employed and the special equipment designed for this study.
