THE PHASE DIAGRAM OF THE SYSTEM Na3AlF6–Na2SO4 AND THE DISSOCIATION OF THE CRYOLITE ANION IN MOLTEN SODIUM SULPHATE
Keyword(s):
The binary system Na3AlF6–Na2SO4 has been investigated. A eutectic point was found at 91 mole % Na2SO4. On the Na3AlF6 side of the diagram extensive solid solution was found. No solid solution was observed on the Na2SO4 side, either by thermal analysis or by Debye–Scherrer diagrams. The freezing point depression of Na2SO4 caused by additions of Na3AlF6 has been used to evaluate the dissociation scheme of the cryolite anion in a sodium sulphate melt. The calculations favor the following scheme:AlF63− = AlF4− + 2F−.
