Metastable phase equilibria in the systems K2SO4 + K2B4O7 + H2O and KCl + K2B4O7 + H2O at 308.15 K

Experimental studies on the metastable solubilities and physicochemical properties (density and refractive index) in the ternary systems K₂SO₄ + K₂B₄O₇ + H₂O and KCl + K₂B₄O₇ + H₂O at 308.15 K were determined with the method of isothermal evaporation. According to the experimental results, the phase diagrams of the two ternary systems were plotted. In the phase diagrams, there are both two isotherm evaporation curves, one eutectic point corresponding to K₂SO₄ + K₂B₄O₇ · 4H₂O, and KCl + K₂B₄O₇ · 4H₂O, respectively. Both of the ternary systems belong to a simple eutectic type, and neither double salts nor solid solutions formed in the ternary systems. A comparison of the stable and metastable phase diagrams of the ternary systems K₂SO₄ + K₂B₄O₇ + H₂O and KCl + K₂B₄O₇ + H₂O shows that the supersaturated phenomenon of potassium borate tetrahydrate is significant and easier to appear the metastable behavior.     

Metastable Phase Equilibrium in the Reciprocal Quaternary System LiCl+MgCl2+Li2SO4+MgSO4+H2O at 348.15 K and 0.1 MPa

The metastable solubilities and the physicochemical properties including density and pH of the reciprocal quaternary system(LiCl+MgCl₂+Li₂SO₄+MgSO₄+H₂O) at 348.15 K and 0.1 MPa were determined using the isothermal evaporation method. The dry-salt diagram and water-phase diagram were plotted based on the experimental data. There are five invariant points, eleven univariant curves, and seven crystallization zones corresponding to hexahydrite, tetrahydrite, kieserite, bischofite, lithium sulfate monohydrate, lithium chloride monohydrate and lithium carnallite. Comparison between the stable and metastable diagrams at 348.15 K indicates that the metastable phenomenon of magnesium sulfate is obvious, and the crystallization regions of hexahydrite and tetrahydrite disappear in the stable phase diagram. A comparison of the metastable dry-salt phase diagrams at 308.15, 323.15 and 348.15 K shows that with the increasing of temperature the epsomite crystallization zone disappears from the dry-salt phase diagram of 303.15 K, and a new kieserite crystallization zone is presented at 348.15 K. The density and pH in the metastable equilibrium solution present regular change with the increasing of Jänecke index J(2Li⁺), and the calculated densities using the empirical equation agree well with the experimental values.     

The phase diagrams of the CdCl2-NaCl-H2O system at 298 K

Solid-liquid equilibrium of ternary system Cd²⁺, Na⁺//Cl^?-H₂O at 298 K were studied by an isothermal solution saturation method. Experimental results indicate that there are three univariant curves AE, EF, and FB, two invariant points E, F, and three crystallization fields in the ternary system. The ternary system has one double salt Na₂CdCl₄ · 3H₂O. The crystallization zones of equilibrium solid phases are CdCl₂ · H₂O (AEG field), Na₂CdCl₄ · 3H₂O (EFM field), and NaCl (FBN field), respectively. The composition of the invariant point E is CdCl₂ · H₂O and Na₂CdCl₄ · 3H₂O of which content was 52.70 and 4.11%, respectively. The composition of the invariant point F is Na₂CdCl₄ · 3H₂O and NaCl of which content was 27.92 and 14.95%, respectively. The density of solution in the ternary system show regular changes along with the increased cadmium concentration. The results indicated that CdCl₂ · H₂O possessed the highest solubility among those three salts, which means a strong transfer of Cd ion and a high pollution risk of soil environment. And the solubility of NaCl would be restrained as the three salts existing together.     

Activity coefficients in binary electrolyte mixtures HCl + MgCl2 + H2O at 298.15°K

Activity coefficients of hydrochloric acid in aqueous mixed solutions with magnesium chloride have been determined at 298.15°K from electromotiveforce measurements of the cell Pt, H₂(g, 1 atm.)HCl(m_A), MgCl₂(m_B)AgClAg at constant total ionic strengths of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 moles-kg^–1. The data were interpreted in terms of Scatchard's and Pitzer's equations whereupon it was found that the former gave a better fit of the experimental data but the latter were reasonably adequate. Activity coefficients for magnesium chloride in the mixtures were derived using Pitzer's equations.     

Thermodynamics of phase equilibria of the K2SO4 +Rb2SO4+H2O system at 25°C

Activities of water in the K₂SO₄+Rb₂SO₄+H₂O system at 25°C have been measured isopiestically. On the basis of the experimental activities of water ternary parameters of the Pitzer equations have been calculated. According to our data and experimental solubility data from the literature, continous solid solutions between K₂SO₄ and Rb₂SO₄ are formed in this system. With the use of the Guggenheim polynomial for simulating excess functions of solid solutions on the basis of the original and literature solubility data, excess Gibbs energies of solid solution formation as well as a solubility diagram have been calculated. Results of the solubility calculation are in good agreement with experimental data.

Phase equilibria in the Na,K,Mg,Ca‖SO₄,Cl-H₂O system at 25°C in the MgSO₄ · 5H₂O and MgSO₄ · 4H₂O crystallization region are studied using the translation method. MgSO₄ · 5H₂O and MgSO₄ · 4H₂O, which are equilibrium phases of the system at 25°C, are each involved in two invariant points, seven monovariant curves, and nine divariant fields. Fragments of the phase equilibria diagram for the title system in the MgSO₄ · 5H₂O and MgSO₄ · 4H₂O crystallization region are constructed.

Properties of ternary insulating systems: the electronic structure of MgSO4.H2O

Structural and electronic properties of (100)-oriented MgSO(4) and MgSO(4).H(2)O surfaces and the adsorption of water on the latter were investigated theoretically with a combination of ab initio and semiempirical methods. Ab initio electronic structure calculations were based on a density functional theory (DFT)-Hartree-Fock (HF) hybrid approach. The semiempirical method MSINDO was used for the determination of the local adsorption geometry of the water molecule. With the hybrid method good agreement was obtained with the experimental band gap of 7.4 eV determined with electron energy loss spectroscopy of polycrystalline MgSO(4).H(2)O samples under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. The valence bands of the (100) surfaces of both MgSO(4) and MgSO(4).H(2)O are formed mainly by the O2p levels, whereas the S2p states contribute to the lower part of the conduction band. The preferred adsorption site of water at MgSO(4).H(2)O (100) is above a surface Mg atom. The water molecule is stabilized by two additional hydrogen bonds with surface atoms. Only small differences between the electronic structure of MgSO(4).H(2)O and MgSO(4) were observed. Also, the molecular adsorption of water on the MgSO(4).H(2)O surface leads to only small shifts of the electronic energy levels.     

The mutual diffusion coefficients of Na2SO4−H2O and MgSO4−H2O at 25°C from Rayleigh interferometry

The volume-fixed mutual diffusion coefficients of Na₂SO₄–H₂O and MgSO₄–H₂O have been measured, from dilute solutions to near saturation, to an accuracy of 0.1–0.2% by free-diffusion Rayleigh interferometry. These results are compared to other available diffusion data for these salts. The diffusion coefficients of Na₂SO₄–H₂O and MgSO₄–H₂O decrease regularly with increasing concentration, while those of many other salts exhibit both a maximum and a minimum as a function of concentration. A few diffusion coefficients have also been measured for KCl–H₂O.Reference to a company or product names does not imply approval or recommendation of the product by the University of California or the U.S. Department of Energy to the exclusion of others that may be suitable.This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by the United States Government.

Excess Gibbs energies of mixing in the system H2O−NaCl−Na2SO4−MgSO4 at 298.15°K

Isoptestic results are reported for aqueous mixtures of Na₂SO₄ with solutions of NaCl+MgSO₄ at constant mole ratio of NaCl:MgSO₄. The Gibbs energies of mixing obtained from these measurements are combined with earlier results on the same system to derive diagrams giving Gibbs energies of mixing in the quaternary system at constant ionic strengths of 1 and 6. The osmotic coefficients of the mixture are compared with those predicted from the theory of Reilly and Wood.     

Measurement and thermodynamic model study on equilibrium solubility in the ternary system KCl-KBr-H2O at 323.15 K

The solubilities and the refractive indices of the KCl-KBr-H₂O system at 323.15 K were studied with the isothermal dissolution method. The phase diagram and refractive index diagram were plotted for this system at 323.15 K. There is only one crystallization field of the solid solution K(Cl, Br). The system belongs to the solid solution type. The refractive indices of the equilibrium solution varies regularly with w(KCl) increasing. The calculated refractive index data are in good agreement with the experimental data. The parameter Ψ_{K, Cl, Br} at 323.15 K was fitted using the measured solubility data in this study. The equilibrium constant equation for the equilibrium solids at 323.15 K were obtained using the different Pitzer parameters from the literature or this work with a method using the activity product constant. The calculated solubilities agree well with experimental values.     

Activity coefficients for ternary systems: VI. The system HCl + MgCl2 + H2O at different temperatures; application of Pitzer's equations

Electromotive-force measurements have been made on HCl–MgCl₂–H₂O mixtures at 5, 15, 25, 35 and 45°C at eleven different ionic strengths from 0.1–5.0 mol-kg ^–1 . The results are interpreted in terms of the simple Harned's equations, as well as the more complicated Pitzer ion-component treatment of multicomponent electrolyte mixtures. Activity coefficients for HCl in the salt mixtures obey Harned's rule up to and including I=5.0. For the salt in the acid mixtures, Harned's rule holds true up to and including I=0.5. The contribution of higher-order electrostatic terms (E and E') in the Pitzer equations is important for accurate evaluations of unlike cation-cation interactions (_H,Mg), and cation-anion-cation interactions (_H,Mg,Cl). The values of^S_H,Mg and _H,Mg,Cl (determined with E and E'), _H,Mg and _H,Mg,Cl (determined without E and E'), as well as the trace activity coefficients of HCl, _tr ^A , in solutions of MgCl₂ (where ionic strength fraction of the salt,y _B = 1) at all the experimental temperatures and ionic strengths, are reported. Results of this study are compared with those for similar systems. At I=0.1 and 25°C, the results of the Brönsted-Guggenheim specific interaction theory are discussed briefly.

On this basis the enthalpies of crystallization, Δ_cryst H _m, were calculated and compared to the appropriate literature data.
