A coordination compound of erbium perchlorate with L-α-glutamic acid, [Er2（Glu）2（H2O）6]（ClO4）4·6H2O（s）, was synthesized. By chemical analysis, elemental analysis, FTIR, TG/DTG, and comparison with relevant literatures, its chemical composition and structure were established.

Heat Storage Performance of Disodium Hydrogen Phosphate Dodecahydrate： Prevention of Phase Separation by Thickening and Gelling Methods

Disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate （Na2HPO4·12H2O） is an attractive candidate for phase change materials. The main problem for its practical use comes from incongruent melting character during thermal cycling. Experimentally, heat of fusion of the pure salt decreased from 200 to 25 jog 1 in a four-run freeze-thaw cycling. Additives such as thickening agent or in-situ synthesized polyacrylate sodium in the molten salt can prevent its phase separation to some extent. In the test, sodium alginate 3.0%-5.0% （w/w） thickened mixture containing Na2HPOn·12H2O and some water showed constant heat storage capacities. Polyacrylate sodium gelled salt was synthesized through polymerizing sodium acrylate in the melt of Na2HPOn·12H2O and some extra water at 50 ℃. Optimum conditions composed of sodium acrylate 3.0%-5.0% （w/w）, cross-linking agent N,N-methylenebis-acrylamide 0.10%-0.20% （w/w）, K2S208 and Na2SO3 （mass ratio 1 ; 1） 0.06%-0.12% （w/w）. As opposed to normal large crystals of pure Na2HPOn·12H2O in solid state, the gelled salt existed in a large number of tiny particles dispersed in the gel network at room temperature, commonly less than 2 mm. But only those sample particles with sizes less than 0.2 mm may have relatively stable thermal storage property. A problem encountered was the poor reproducibility of the synthesis method： heat storage capacity of the product was often very different even though the synthesis was carried out in the same conditions. An alternative gelling method by sodium alginate grafted sodium acrylate was tried and it showed a fairly good effect. Heat capacities and heat of fusion of Na2HPO4·12H2O were measured by an adiabatic calorimeter.     

Low-Temperature Heat Capacities and Thermodynamic Properties of Octahydrated Barium Dihydroxide,Ba（OH）2·8H2O（s）

Low-temperature heat capacities of octahydrated barium dihydroxide, Ba（OH）2·8H2O（s）, were measured by a precision automated adiabatic calorimeter in the temperature range from T=78 to 370 K. An obvious endothermic process took place in the temperature range of 345-356 K. The peak in the heat capacity curve was correspondent to the sum of both the fusion and the first thermal decomposition or dehydration. The experimental molar heat capacifies in the temperature ranges of 78-345 K and 356-369 K were fitted to two polynomials. The peak temperature, molar enthalpy and entropy of the phase change have been determined to be （355.007±0.076） K, （73.506±0.011） kJ·ol^-1 and （207.140±0.074） J·K^-1·mol^-1, respectively, by three series of repeated heat capacity measurements in the temperature region of 298-370 K. The thermodynamic functions, （Hr-H298.15 k ）and （Sr-S298.15k）, of the compound have been calculated by the numerical integral of the two heat-eapacity polynomials. In addition, DSC and TG-DTG techniques were used for the further study of thermal behavior of the compound. The latent heat of the phase change became into a value larger than that of the normal compound because the melfing process of the compound must be accompanied by the thermal decomposition or dehydration of 71-120.

The metastable phase equilibria of the quaternary system NaCl+Na2CO3+Na2SO4+H2O were studied at 273.15 K. The salts' solubilities, densities and pH values of the equilibrated solution in this system were determined. According to the experimental data, the metastable equilibrium phase diagram, the diagram of density vs. composition and pH vs. composition diagram were plotted. The phase diagram consists of five univariant curves, four crystallization fields and two invariant points. The four crystallization fields correspond to sodium carbonate decahydrate (Na2CO3·10H2O), sodium sulfate decahydrate(Na2SO4·10H2O), sodium chloride(NaCl) and burkeite(2Na2SO4· Na2CO3), respectively. The crystallization field of sodium sulfate decahydrate(Na2SO4·10H2O) is the largest, which indicates that sodium sulfate is easy to saturate and crystallize from solution at 273.15 K.
