Study of Phase Equilibrium of NaBr + KBr + H2O and NaBr + MgBr2 + H2O at 313.15 K

Abstract

The phase equilibrium for the ternary systems NaBr + KBr + H2O and NaBr + MgBr2 + H2O at 313.15 K was investigated by isothermal solution saturation method. The solubilities of salts and the densities of saturated solutions in these ternary systems were determined by chemical methods, while the equilibrium solid phases were analyzed by Schreinermarker wet residues method. Based on the experimental data, phase diagrams and density versus composition diagrams were plotted. The two ternary systems were type of simple common-saturation and without complex salt and solid solution. There are in all two crystalline regions, two univariant curves, and one invariant point in these phase diagrams of two ternary systems at 313.15 K. The equilibrium solid phases in the ternary system NaBr + KBr + H2O are KBr and NaBr·2H2O, and those in the ternary system NaBr + MgBr2 + H2O are NaBr·2H2O and MgBr2·6H2O.
