A study of the system CdO-SeO2-H2O at 25 and 100°C

The solubility of the system CdO-SeO₂-H₂O was studied at 25 and 100°C. The fields of crystallization of α-CdSeO₃, 3CdSeO₃·H₂SeO₃ and CdSeO₃·SeO₂ were established at 25°C. At 100°C crystallize α-CdSeO₃, 3CdSeO₃·SeO₂, 2CdSeO₃·SeO₂ and CdSeO₃·SeO₂. The compounds obtained were identified by means of chemical, X-ray and crystal-optical analysis. The mechanism of thermal dissociation of α-CdSeO₃, 3CdSeO₃·H₂SeO₃ and CdSeO₃·SeO₂ was studied. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
