Appendix 3 Formulae for the conversion of Li Br concentrations used in this report

Starting with the mole fraction of LiBr, XLiBr, the weight fraction LiBr , WLiBr, is given by :

WLiBr =  

and the Molarity (in units of moles/Kg H2O), MLiBr, is given by :

MLiBr = 

where Mw is the molecular weight of either LiBr or H2O.
