Abstract:

The phase equilibrium of the quaternary system lithium borate-potassium borate-magnesium borate-water was studied at 308.15 K with isothermal solution saturation method.Solubilities,densities,refractive indices and pH of the system were determined.Stability phase diagram of this system contains one invariant point L+Li2B4O7·3H2O+K2B4O7·4H2O+Mg2B6O11·15H2O) which liquid compositions were as follows:w(Li2B4O7)=3.11%,w(K2B4O7)=16.64% and w(Mg2B6O11)=0.10%; and three crystallization regions corresponding to Li2B4O7·3H2O,K2B4O7·4H2O and Mg2B6O11·15H2O,respectively. Neither double salts nor solid solutions formed in this system,and the K2B4O7 and Li2B4O7 in solution both had a strong salting-out effect on inderite.The solution density,refractive index and pH of the quaternary system changes regularly with the increasing of borate concentration.

Key words: solid-liquid phase equilibria, solubility, salt-water system phase diagram, inderite
