Abstract
The solubility and ultra solubility of borax decahydrate both in pure and impure solutions have been determined in the temperature range from (0 to 30) °C by means of the conventional polythermal method using the laser technique. The metastable zone width and the apparent nucleation order of borax were calculated. The effects and the action mechanism of KCl on metastable zone property of borax were studied. It was found that the presence of KCl made an increase in the solubility and a decrease in the metastable zones of borax. However, the trends in the changes of metastable zone width at low impurity concentrations were different from high concentrations because of the adsorption equilibria on the crystals.
