Therefore. alternative mass balances ..ere C0mputed Dased

upon two possible approaches.

The assum~tion of no-return of

dissolved solids is shown in section B of each mass-oalance taDle.

and the assumption of return (no loss) of dissolvea ,olios is

shown in section C of each mass-oalance taole.
