Abstract

Phase diagrams for Nd 2O 3-H 2O-CO 2 and Gd 2O 3-H 2O-CO 2 systems at 1500 atm are given along with the results of selected runs in La, Sm and Eu systems. The stable phases in systems of La and Nd, are Ln(OH)CO 3-B, Ln 2O 2CO 3-II and LnOOH, in addition to the Ln(OH) 3 phase at extremely low partial pressures of CO 2 in the system. The systems become more and more complex with decreasing ionic radi and the number of stable carbonate phases increases. Ln 2(CO 3) 3 · 3H 2O orthorhombic (tengerate-like phase) is stable from Sm to Gd in addition to the other phases. The Gd(OH)CO 3-A (ancylite-like phase) is hydrothermally stable at X CO 2 ⩾ 0.5 while its hexagonal polymorph, Gd(OH)CO 3-B is stable at low partial pressures of CO 2 in the system.
