Activity of water in aqueous solutions
containing sulfuric acid
and uranyl sulfate has been determined at 298.15, 310.65, and 323.15
K by means of the apparatus AQUALAB 4TE. The data obtained, along
with literature information about activity of water and solid–liquid
equilibria in the H2O–UO2SO4 and H2O–H2SO4–UO2SO4 systems, were used to develop a thermodynamic
model of the ternary system mentioned. The resulting model, employing
Pitzer–Simonson–Clegg (PSC) equations to represent the
properties of a liquid phase, is valid within a wide range of temperatures
and concentrations. Apart from introducing novel experimental data
and a thermodynamic model, the reported study discusses advantages
and disadvantages of the PSC-based thermodynamic descriptions of the
H2O–H2SO4 subsystem presented
in the literature.
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.
