The
solid–liquid
equilibria in the LiBr–MgBr2–KBr–H2O system was measured, along
with its two subsystems, LiBr–MgBr2–H2O and MgBr2–KBr–H2O, at
308.15 and 288.15 K using the isothermal dissolution equilibrium method.
The stable phase diagrams of the three systems at 308.15 and 288.15
K were plotted. For the ternary LiBr–MgBr2–H2O system, two univariant curves, one ternary invariant point,
and two crystallization fields, the fields being MgBr2·6H2O and LiBr·2H2O, were identified. The ternary
system MgBr2–KBr–H2O contained
three univariant curves, two ternary invariant points, and three crystallization
fields corresponding to KBr, KBr·MgBr2·6H2O, and MgBr2·6H2O. From the stable
phase diagram of the quaternary system, five univariant curves, four
crystallization fields, and two invariant points were observed. The
corresponding solids of the four crystallization fields were KBr,
LiBr·2H2O, KBr·MgBr2·6H2O, and MgBr2·6H2O. The quaternary phase
diagrams at 288.15 and 308.15 K had similar shapes, and the shapes
of each crystallization field were identical. The crystallization
field of KBr was larger than the
other crystallization fields. With an increase in temperature, the
crystallization field of KBr became smaller and that of LiBr became
larger.
