Stoichiometric saturation is examined as a possible control on Br contents of halite and sylvite during precipitation from binary salt solutions of NaCl-NaBr and KCl-KBr, respectively. Experimental data at 25°C, assumed to represent Stoichiometric saturation, were used to predict mole fractions of NaBr in halite and KBr in sylvite in thermodynamic equilibrium with fluids as a function of aqueous activity ratios of Br-:Cl-. The predictions are based on the additional assumption that the aqueous activity product of the major salt component in the precipitated salt was independent of the trace Br content in the salt lattice. The extension of the predictions to diagenetic pressures and temperatures is discussed.The predicted equilibrium Br content of halite at initial halite saturation of evaporating seawater is in close agreement with that computed from the distribution coefficient of Lutz (1975), measured in slowgrowth single crystal experiments. Fluid recrystallization of halite and sylvite at near-surface temperatures is predicted to generally deplete the Br contents in the solids. Bulk Br contents in halite in cap-rock of Gulf Coast salt domes generally agree with those predicted by the recrystallization of halite in the presence of evaporative-concentrated seawater. At a constant solution composition, increasing temperature results in increasing the equilibrium Br content of halite, making less efficient Br depletion in halite by recrystallization.
