Abstract:

The stable phase equilibrium of the ternary system K +,Cs +//SO4 2--H2O has been studied using the isothermal dis-solution method at 298.2 K.The solubilities,densities and refractive indices of the equilibrated solution were determined experimentally.The results showed that the ternary system was of complex type with solid solution [(K,Cs)2SO4] formed at 298.2 K,and with the largest crystalline region for the solid solution [(K,Cs)2SO4].The stable phase diagram of this ternary system contained three univariant curves,three crystalline zones and two invariant points.The mass fraction composition of the two invariant points were w(K2SO4) 11.69%、w(Cs2SO4) 4.02% and w(K2SO4) 3.39%、w(Cs2SO4) 60.84%,respectively. The density and refractive index of the solution increased along with the increase of the Cs2SO4 contents.Furthermore,the empirical equation developed in the previous study was used to calculate refractive index of the equilibrated solutions,the calculated values results indicated good consistency with the experimental values.
