Results of research in selection of multiple tracers for enhanced oil recovery systems and ion exchange characteristics of enhanced oi recovery systems concerned with alkaline earth ion-alkali ion equilibria on clay minerals are summarized. An extensive study was completed of the distribution of Na(I) and Ca(II) ions between a common clay, montmorillonite, as well as several other clays, and a series of solutions of constant total ionic strength with varying ionic strength fraction of sodium. Equilibrium quotients for the exchange of sodium and calcium were then calculated and the effects of solution composition, of solution phase activity coefficients, of ionic strength, of degree of purification, and of source of clay were investigated. Distribution coefficients for Sr(II) were determined for a variety of conditions on various clay minerals and oxides. In general for clay minerals, the values of DSR decrease sharply independent of pH. 22 references.
