Thermodynamic model for mineral solubility in aqueous fluids: theory, calibration and application to model fluid-flow systems

Abstract

We present a thermodynamic model for mineral dissolution in aqueous fluids at elevated temperatures and pressures, based on intrinsic thermal properties and variations of volumetric properties of the aqueous solvent.
