Abstract

The (Solid–Liquid) phase equilibria for the systems of cesium bromide + holmium bromide + water and cesium bromide + holmium bromide + hydrobromic acid (~11.7 mass %) + water at T = 298.15 K were researched by the isothermal dissolution equilibrium method. According to the experimental data, the phase diagrams of the two systems were depicted. There were two invariant points, three invariant curves, and three crystallization fields (CsBr, Cs3Ho2Br9·16H2O, HoBr3·8H2O) in the two phase diagrams. Cs3Ho2Br9·16H2O was incongruently soluble in the two systems. The solubility of HoBr3 measured in water at T = 298.15 K is 65.41 mass %. The compound Cs3Ho2Br9·16H2O was investigated using chemical analysis, XRD and TG-DTG analysis. The standard molar enthalpy of solution of Cs3Ho2Br9·16H2O in water was measured to be −(5.54 ± 0.28) kJ/mol by a microcalorimetry, and its standard molar enthalpy of formation was determined as being –(7846.5 ± 1.2) kJ/mol.
