Abstract: | Formation of Solid Solutions of Na2SO4 in the High-temperature Form of Na3PO4 The high-temperature form of Na3PO4 solves up to 70 mole-% Na2SO4 maintaining the type of crystal structure. The lattice constants increase from 742.3(1) pm (pure Na3PO4) to 749.1(2) pm for Na3?x(PO4)?x(SO4)x (x = 0.7). The high-temperature form, in the case of pure Na3PO4 stable above 325°C, is stabilized at room-temperature by doping with small amounts of Na2SO4. |
