To develop an activity coefficient model for aqueous multielectrolyte systems, ion-specific NRTLparameters were applied to the electrolyte-NRTL model. In total, 132 ion-specific NRTLparameters for 21 ionic species (K+, Na+, Mg2+, H+, Ca2+, Zn2+, Al3+, NH4+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cu2+,Pb2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Cr3+, Cl-, SO42-, NO3-, OH-, ClO4-, CrO42-) were determined from the binaryactivity coefficient data of aqueous electrolytes and used to predict the activity coefficients ofelectrolytes in aqueous multieletrolyte solutions without any additional parameters. Furthermore,solubilities of inorganic salts including heavy metals in aqueous mixed electrolyte systems andthe distribution ratio of Cu in a solvent extraction process containing HCl and CuCl2 werepredicted using the activity coefficients derived from our ion-specific electrolyte-NRTL model.The results showed that the NRTL parameters obtained in this study accurately predict phaseequilibria of systems involving inorganic salts such that this model can be used in the design ofrecovery processes such as crystallization and solvent extraction.
