Abstract
Phase equilibria and critical phenomena in the lithium nitrate-water-acetonitrile ternary system were studied by a visual polythermal method within the range of −20 to 50°C. In this ternary system, the constituent liquid binary system is characterized by phase separation with an upper critical solution temperature. It was found that the ternary system undergoes phase separation at temperatures below 0.7°C. In the phase diagram within the range of −1.1 to 0.7°C, a closed phase separation region with two critical points was revealed. The temperature of the formation of the critical tie line of the monotectic state the solid phase of which is the crystalline hydrate LiNO3 · 3H2O was determined (−18.7°C). Depending on the concentration, lithium nitrate has both salting-in and salting-out effect on aqueous acetonitrile mixtures. The plotted isothermal sections of the temperature-concentration prism of the system at fifteen temperatures showed the pattern of the topological transformation of its phase diagram with varying temperature.
