Data
regarding the solubility of salts in the KNO3–KH2PO4–K2SO4–H2O system can be used to optimize the composition of liquid
complex fertilizers. This research considers phase equilibria in the
quaternary system KNO3–KH2PO4–K2SO4–H2O at 298.2
K for the first time. A phase diagram with a plotted grid of isohydric
lines was constructed based on the results of the experiment. The
phase diagram displays a single quaternary invariant point, three
ternary invariant points, three univariant curves, and three crystallization
regions that correspond to KH2PO4, K2SO4, and KNO3. Among these, the crystallization
region of K2SO4 is the largest, while that of
KNO3 is the smallest. The order of decreasing solubility
for the salts is KNO3 > KH2PO4 >
K2SO4. No crystalline hydrates, double salts,
or solid solutions were found in the system. The solution that is
maximally saturated with salts corresponds to the quaternary invariant
point.
