Abstract | Examined the solubility in NaCl – ZrOCl2 – HCl – H2O system in three cross-sections of HCl concentrations (18, 28 and 33% (mas.)) at temperatures of 25, 50 and 75 oС. The method, used in these solubility studies, is based on the assumption that the concentration figure of a system of any dimension (when the composition is normalized to unity) can be located in the rectangular coordinate system so that equations of analytic and differential geometry can be applied to it. The compositions of equilibrium liquid phases in this case are calculated by the equations of lines passing either through two initial compounds located in certain cross-sections, or through one initial compound and the compounds of the solid phase crystallizing in this area, if the concentration of at least one component in the equilibrium liquid phase is known. The compositions of liquid and solid phases are provided. The solubility isotherms (either lines or surfaces) can be represented not only as tabulated data but as polynomial equations as well. In a four-component system, the surface expressing the composition of solutions saturated with an x salt, is approximated by a quadratic equation of the following type Ax12 + Bx22 + Cx32 + Dx1x2 + Ex1x3 + Fx2x3 + Gx1 + Hx2 + Ix3 + 1 = 0, where x1, x2, x3 are concentrations of the three components in mass fractions. Using these data, approximated the isothermal and polythermal solubility surfaces by polynomial equations. Findings can be used to determine the location of any initial composition in the phase diagram, calculate the quantities of equilibrium phases and optimize the process of crystallization separation of sodium and zirconium chlorides in solutions with different HCl concentrations (18–33% (mas.)) in the temperature range of 25–75 oС. |
