Abstract
As a basis for the design and development of molten salt mixtures, thermodynamic calculations of the phase diagram and thermodynamic properties were carried out on the TbBr 3 unary and NaBr–TbBr 3 binary systems over the entire temperature and composition range, respectively. The Gibbs energy of TbBr 3 was evaluated using an independent polynomial to fit the experimental heat capacity, the thermodynamic parameters for each phase in the NaBr–TbBr 3 system were optimized by using available experimental information on phase diagram and thermodynamic properties. A two sub-lattice ionic solution model (Na +) P : (Br −, TbBr 6 3−, TbBr 3) Q for the liquid phase and Neumann–Kopp rule for the stoichiometric compound Na 3TbBr 6 were adopted to reproduce the experimental data with reasonable excess Gibbs energy. Comparisons between the calculated phase diagram and thermodynamic quantities show that all reliable experimental information is satisfactorily accounted for by the present thermodynamic description.
