A three-component system and the crystallization of selected salts from this system were investigated in this study. The studied system was a NaCl-Na2SO4-H2O three-component solution. A methodology for selective crystallization by various elementary pathways was developed, followed by a mathematical model of the complex process of selective crystallization. The developed mathematical model and algorithm of the process enabled the simulation of selective salt crystallization from the multicomponent system NaCl-Na2SO4-H2O.
