Solid-liquid Equilibria in the Quaternary System Na＋, K＋//Br-, B4O72--H2O at 298 K

According to the compositions of the underground gasfield brines in the west of Sichuan Basin, the solu- bilities and densities of the solid-liquid equilibria in the quaternary system Na＋, K＋//Br-, B4O72--H2O at 298 K were determined by the method of isothermal solution saturation. From the experimental data, the phase diagram, water content diagram and density-composition diagram were obtained. This quaternary system is of simple eutectic type, without double salt and solid solution. There are two invariant points, five univariant curves, four fields of crystalli- zation in the system. The equilibrium solid phases are Na2BaO7·10H20, K2B4O7·4H2O, NaBr·2H2O and KBr. Na2B4O7·10H2O has a larger crystallization field, and NaBr·2H2O has a smaller crystallization field. It is also found that bromide has the salting-out effect on borate in the quaternary system Na＋, K＋//Br-, B4O72--H2Oat 298 K.     

Measurement of Solid-liquid Equilibria in Quaternary System Li+, K+//SO42-, B4O72--H2O at 288 K

In order to utilize the brine resources in China, the solid-liquid equilibria in quaternary system Li⁺, K⁺//SO₄^2-, B₄O₇^2--H₂O at 288 K was studied by the isothermal solution equilibrium method. Solubilities and densities of solutions were determined experimentally. According to the experimental data, the equilibrium phase diagrams, density-composition diagram and corresponding water content diagram of the quaternary system were plotted. Double salt KLiSO₄ was found in the reciprocal quaternary system Li⁺, K⁺//SO₄^2-, B₄O₇^2--H₂O at 288 K. The quaternary system has three invariant points, seven univariant curves and five fields of crystallization. The five crystallization regions correspond to Li₂B₄O₇·3H₂O, Li₂SO₄·H₂O, K₂B₄O₇·4H₂O, K₂SO₄ and KLiSO₄, respectively. The crystallization field of salt Li₂B₄O₇·3H₂O is the largest, whereas that of Li₂SO₄·H₂O is the smallest. The experimental results show that Li₂SO₄·H₂O has a strong salting-out effect on other salts.

Measured and Predicted Solubility Phase Diagrams of Quaternary Systems LiBr-NaBr-MgBr2-H2O and LiBr-KBr-MgBr2-H2O at 298.15 K

The stable phase equilibria of quaternary systems LiBr-NaBr-MgBr₂-H₂O and LiBr-KBr-MgBr₂-H₂O at 298.15 K were studied by both experimental measurement(isothermal solution saturation method) and theoretical prediction(Pitzer model). The solubilities of the saturated solution have been determined experimentally and two stable phase diagrams and relevant water diagrams of the two quaternary systems were obtained. Results show that quaternary system LiBr-NaBr-MgBr₂-H₂O is hydrate II type as NaBr and NaBr·2H₂O coexistence. Its phase diagram consists of only one invariant point, four univariant curves, and five crystallization fields. The quaternary system LiBr-KBr-MgBr₂-H₂O is a complex type as the double salt KBr·MgBr₂·6H₂O formed. In addition to this double salt, the three single salts LiBr·2H₂O, KBr and MgBr₂·6H₂O also crystallize. In this paper, the solubilities of phase equilibria in above quaternary systems were also calculated by the Pitzer's electrolyte solution model. All the needed parameters can be obtained from the literature or be fitted by experimental data. On the Basis of the experimental and calculated results, the phase diagram of the quaternary system was plotted for comparison. It shows that the calculation results are consistent with the experimental ones.     

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.     

Metastable Phase Equilibrium of the Quaternary System Na+, Rb+, Mg2+//Cl--H2O at 298.2 K

The component solubilities, densities and refractive indices of the quaternary system Na⁺, Rb⁺, Mg²⁺//Cl^--H₂O at 298.2 K were measured using an isothermal evaporation method. Based on the gathered data, a metastable phase diagram, a water content diagram, and a density/refractive index vs. composition diagram were constructed. The results show that this system is of a complex type with a double salt rubidium carnallite (RbCl·MgCl₂·6H₂O) formed at 298.2 K. Double salt rubidium carnallite, whose component point locates in its own crystallization zone in the dry salt phase diagram, belongs to congruent double salt at 298.2 K. Accompanied by the double salt that was formed, there are two invariant points in the phase diagram that cosaturated with three salts and an equilibrated solution. The cosaturated salts for the two invariant points are MgCl₂·6H₂O+RbCl·MgCl₂·6H₂O+ NaCl and NaCl+RbCl+RbCl·MgCl₂·6H₂O, respectively. Both invariant points are commensurate invariant points in the evaporation process, and the two invariant points are evaporative dry points. The sizes of the crystalline regions of the salts are in the order of NaCl > RbCl > RbCl·MgCl₂·6H₂O > MgCl₂·6H₂O.
