Liquid−liquid and solid−liquid equilibrium data are presented for the PEG 4000 + Na2SO4 + water
system at 298.15 K. Six equilibrium regions were found. The binodal curve was fitted by means of a
three-parameter equation (relative mean deviation 3.95%), and the tie lines compositions were fitted to
both the Othmer−Tobias and Bancroft equations. Densities and refractive indices were determined for
the solutions in equilibrium. Samples of the solid phase analyzed by X-ray diffraction showed it to consist
of anhydrous Na2SO4.
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.
