The equilibrium diagrams of the systems NaNO3–LiNO3, LiClO3–NaClO3, LiClO3–LiNO3, NaNO3–NaClO3, and NaNO3–LiNO3–LiClO3–NaClO3 have been investigated by thermal analysis and, to some extent, by X-ray powder photography. All the binary systems are of the simple eutectic type, accompanied, in one instance, by considerable solid solubility. The allotropic transformation of sodium nitrate complicates the equilibria involving sodium nitrate somewhat, especially when there is solid solution.The quaternary diagram shows that in the (fused) reaction[Formula: see text]lithium nitrate and sodium chlorate constitute the stable solid pair. The two invariant points of this system are both congruent.
