Abstract:

The solubility of AlCl3·6H2O在FeCl3-CaCl2-HCl-H2O system was determined by static method at a temperature of 25~60 ℃.Meanwhile,the solubility of AlCl3·6H2O in FeCl3-CaCl2-HCl-H2O system within the temperature range was predicted by using the Bromley-Zemaitis activity co-efficient model embedded in the software on the platform of OLI,and the experimental results were compared with the simulated results.The results showed that in FeCl3-HCl-H2O and CaCl2-HCl-H2O systems,temperature had little influence on the solubility of AlCl3·6H2O and could be ignored in the two system.The solubility of AlCl3·6H2O decreased obviously with the increase of iron chloride and calcium chloride concentrations in the two systems.At the same temperature and the same concentration of FeCl3 and CaCl2,the concentration of hydrochloric acid had a significant effect on the solubility of AlCl3·6H2O in the two systems.The solubility of AlCl3·6H2O decreases sharply with the increase of hydrochloric acid concentration.It was found that the results were in good agreement by comparing the experimental data with the predicted values of the model.

Key words: AlCl3·6H2O, solubility, static method, Bromley-Zemaitis activity coefficient model
