Solid–liquid equilibria in the quaternary system LiBr−NaBr−KBr−H2O and its two ternary subsystems at 288.15 K

Abstract The solubilities of the LiBr−NaBr−KBr−H 2 O system and its subsystems LiBr−NaBr−H 2 O and LiBr−KBr−H 2 O were investigated at 288.15 K by the isothermal dissolution equilibrium method, and the corresponding phase diagrams were plotted, respectively. In the three systems, neither solid solution nor double salt was found. For the first subsystem LiBr−NaBr−H 2 O, there are two invariant points, three dissolution equilibrium curves, and three crystallization regions, which are LiBr·2H 2 O, NaBr·2H 2 O, and NaBr. An invariant point, two dissolution equilibrium curves, and two crystallization regions, which are LiBr·2H 2 O and KBr, constitute the stable phase diagram of the second subsystem LiBr−KBr−H 2 O. The phase diagram of the quaternary system LiBr−NaBr−KBr−H 2 O consists of two invariant points, five solubility curves, and four regions in which are LiBr·2H 2 O, NaBr, NaBr·2H 2 O, and KBr.
