Phase diagrams of (R4N)2[Nd(NO3)5]-decane-n-octanol (n-butanol, n-decanol) liquid ternary systems

Phase diagrams on the mole fraction scale are presented for decane- (R₄N)₂[Nd(NO₃)₅]-n-octanol(n-butanol, n-decanol) (1–2–3) ternary liquid systems, where R₄N⁺ stands for trialkylbenzylammonium, at T = 298.15 K. The C₁₀H₂₂-(R₄N)₂[Nd(NO₃)₅] binary system is a two-phase liquid system. One phase (phase I) is the almost neat solvent; the other (phase II) is enriched in (R₄N)₂[Nd(NO₃)₅]. The liquid ternary systems are characterized by homogeneous and two-phase liquid solution fields. One phase is enriched in (R₄N)₂[Nd(NO₃)₅] and n-octanol (n-butanol, n-decanol) and the other in C₁₀H₂₂. The miscibilities in the C₁₀H₂₂-(R₄N)₂[Nd(NO₃)₅] binary system and in the ternary liquid systems were used to calculate, from the equations of the nonrandom two-liquid model (NTRL), intermolecular interaction parameters and excess Gibbs free energies g ^E for the binary and ternary liquid systems along the binodal curve. g ^E > 0 is characteristic of the systems under study, while g ^E decreases in the series of pairs of liquids (1, 2), (1, 3), and (2, 3) Original Russian Text ?

Phase diagram for the hexane-acetonitrile-tri-n-butyl phosphate-solvated neodymium(III) nitrate ternary liquid system

Phase diagrams of the hexane-acetonitrile-[Nd(NO₃)₃(TBP)₃] liquid ternary system were studied at various temperatures. The system consists of two pairs of incompletely miscible liquids: hexane-acetonitrile and [Nd(NO₃)₃(TBP)₃]-hexane. The two-liquid field in the [Nd(NO₃)₃(TBP)₃]-hexane system decreases with increasing temperature; the upper critical solution temperature T _cr = 316.15 ± 0.25 K. The temperature effect on the immiscibility field in the hexane-acetonitrile system is insignificant. The title ternary liquid system is characterized by two homogeneous liquid fields and one two-phase liquid field at T < 316 K. One phase is depleted of acetonitrile and contains variable proportions of [Nd(NO₃)₃(TBP)₃] and hexane; the other contains variable proportions of acetonitrile and [Nd(NO₃)₃(TBP)₃] and a small proportion of hexane. With rising temperature, the two-phase field narrows and deforms, whereas the homogeneous liquid fields expand. At T > 337 K, the system transforms into a ternary liquid system with one pair of incompletely miscible liquids (hexane-acetonitrile). Original Russian Text ? V.A. Keskinov, A.K. Pyartman, N.A.

Phase equilibria at various temperatures in the ternary liquid system containing solvates of thorium(IV) and uranyl(VI) nitrates with tri-n-butyl phosphate and tetradecane

The phase diagram of the ternary liquid system [Th(NO₃)₄(TBP)₂]-[UO₂(NO₃)₂(TBP)₂]-tetradecane (where TBP stands for tri-n-butyl phosphate) has been investigated at temperatures from 298.15 to 333.15 K. The ternary liquid system is characterized by a region of homogeneous solutions and a region of two-phase liquid systems (stratified systems). One phase is enriched with solvates [Th(NO₃)₄(TBP)₃] and [UO₂(NO₃)₂(TBP)₂] (phase I), and the other is enriched with tetradecane (phase II). The temperature (T = 298.15–333.15 K) does not substantially affect the two-phase region. In the two-phase systems, the preferential distribution of [UO₂(NO₃)₂(TBP)₂] into phase I is observed in spite of the fact that the binary system [UO₂(NO₃)₂(TBP)₂]-tetradecane is a single phase at all temperatures investigated. The distribution of [UO₂(NO₃)₂(TBP)₂] into phase I leads to the redistribution of [Th(NO₃)₄(TBP)₂] into phase II. At all temperatures investigated, the critical solution points of the ternary liquid system have compositions with close contents of the solvates [Th(NO₃)₄(TBP)₂] and [UO₂(NO₃)₂(TBP)₂].

Phase diagrams of the hexane-dimethylformamide-[Nd(NO₃)₃(TBP)₃] ternary liquid system at various temperatures were studied. The system consists of two pairs of incompletely miscible liquids: hexane-dimethylformamide (DMF) and [Nd(NO₃)₃(TBP)₃]-hexane. The liquid-liquid phase separation region in the [Nd(NO₃)₃(TBP)₃]-hexane system narrows with rising temperature; the upper critical solution T _cr = (316.15 ± 0.25) K.

One phase is depleted of DMF and contains variable [Nd(NO₃)₃(TBP)₃] and hexane proportions; the other contains variable DMF and [Nd(NO₃)₃(TBP)₃] proportions and small hexane percentages. The two-phase region narrows and deforms with rising temperature, whereas the homogeneous regions expand. At T > 337 K, the system transforms to a ternary liquid system with one pair of incompletely miscible liquids (hexane-DMF).

Electrical conductivities were measured for the ternary systems Y(NO₃)₃+La(NO₃)₃+H₂O, La(NO₃)₃+Ce(NO₃)₃+H₂O, La(NO₃)₃+Nd(NO₃)₃+H₂O, and their binary subsystems Y(NO₃)₃+H₂O, La(NO₃)₃+H₂O, Ce(NO₃)₃+H₂O, and Nd(NO₃)₃+H₂O at (293.15, 298.15 and 308.15) K.

Critical compositions in the system depend on temperature. [UO₂(NO₃)₂(TBP)₂] tends to be distributed to phase I, despite the fact that the binary system [UO₂(NO₃)₂(TBP)₂[-tetradecane is a single phase at all temperatures studied.
