The thermodynamic properties of metals in aqueous systems are commonly presented as potential-pH (Pourbaix) diagrams in which equilibrium potentials for various reactions are plotted as a function of pH at the temperature of interest. Most of the diagrams that have been compiled have considered metal-water systems at room temperature. Some investigators have calculated high-temperature Pourbaix diagrams for iron in: water,2,3  aqueous sulfur,4-6  aqueous chloride, high-salinity brine, and high-salinity brine with hydrogen sulfide. The Fe-Cl-H2O system was investigated previously at a lower concentration of Cl of 0.1 M at 25 C.10,11  The studies at high temperatures were also at lower Cl concentrations of 0.1 M7 and 3.6 M8,9  compared to the present investigation in saturated NaCI in which the concentration of Cl is 7 M at 150 C. The aim of this investigation is to...
