Effect of temperature on dissolution of Turkish trona

In this study, the rate of dissolution of Turkish trona was measured as a function of the trona brine concentration and temperature. The results were compared with a theoretical model of the rate of dissolution from a vertical wall under conditions of natural convection driven by the density gradien...

Summary:In this study, the rate of dissolution of Turkish trona was measured as a function of the trona brine concentration and temperature. The results were compared with a theoretical model of the rate of dissolution from a vertical wall under conditions of natural convection driven by the density gradient in the boundary layer caused by salt concentration differences. The average rate of dissolution in water was measured to be 2.8 g/m 2 s. It was found that the temperature is apparently a more important factor at low solution concentrations than at high concentrations.
