Binodal curves for aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) polyethylene glycol 1500 (PEG1500)−sodium sulfate− water with additions of sodium chloride and hydrochloric or sulfuric acids were determined by turbidimetric titration and analysis of coexisting phases. The results are compared with published data for the ATPS PEG1500−sodium sulfate−water without additions, and the influence of additions on the width of the two-phase field, tielines length, and slopes was traced. The influence of initial concentration of palladium, time of phase contact, pH, concentration of sodium chloride and sodium sulfate on the extraction of palladium(II) was studied. The coefficients of distribution of palladium(II) between the phases of ATPS were measured as a function of the concentrations of sodium chloride (0.1, 1.0, and 2.0 mol•L −1 ) and pH values. At lower concentrations of Cl − ions Pd(II) is extracted as a mixture of ions [Pd(H 2 O)Cl 3 ] − and [PdCl 4 ] 2− , whereas the growth of C(Cl − ) leads to prevalence of the latter, which has poorer extraction properties. Maximal values of the distribution coefficient D Pd of about 9.5 ± 0.75 were achieved in the ATPS PEG1500−Na 2 SO 4 −0.1 M HCl and PEG1500− Na 2 SO 4 −(0.05 M H 2 SO 4 + 0.1 M NaCl).
Phase equilibria in the In–Pd–Sn system were investigated by a combination of key experiments and thermodynamic modeling. Partial isothermal sections at 500 °C and 800 °C of the In–Pd–Sn system for Pd contents above 66 at.% have been plotted experimentally using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The solubility of the third component in binary compounds InPd3 and Pd3Sn was determined. The new ternary compound τ1 was found in Pd contents ranging from 20 to 25 at.% and at Sn contents varying from 5 to approximately 17 at.% Sn. This compound crystallizes in an Al3Ti-type tetragonal structure. Isostructural InPd2 and Pd2Sn phases from the In–Pd and Pd–Sn binary compositions form a continuous phase field in the ternary system at both temperatures. The temperatures of the solidus, liquidus, and phase transitions of the alloys along the Pd–In50Sn50 line were measured using DTA/DSC. Thermodynamic calculation of the In–Pd–Sn ternary system is performed using the CALPHAD method using the Thermo-Calc® software. The thermodynamic properties of the disordered fcc and liquid phases were described by the Redlich–Kister–Muggianu model. To describe intermetallic phases, namely, InPd3, Pd3Sn, τ1 and Pd2(InxSn1−x), a two-sublattice models was used. Thermodynamic description of the In–Pd–Sn system obtained in this study is in good agreement both with our results and the published experimental data
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
