The solubilities and physicochemical
properties, including density,
refractive index, and pH, of the ternary system (LiCl + Li2SO4 + H2O) at T = (288.15
and 308.15) K and p = 0.1 MPa were determined with
the isothermal dissolution equilibrium method. The phase diagram in
the ternary system at 288.15 K consists of one invariant point, two
univariant solubility curves, and two crystallization regions corresponding
to Li2SO4·H2O and LiCl·H2O. A similar structure can be found in this system at 308.15
K. This ternary system belongs to hydrate type I at two temperatures,
and neither double salts nor solid solutions were formed at the investigated
temperatures. The crystallized area of LiCl·H2O decreases
with increasing temperature, while that of Li2SO4·H2O increases obviously. The solution density, refractive
index, and pH value of the ternary system (LiCl + Li2SO4 + H2O) at the two temperatures change regularly
with the mass fraction of lithium. The Pitzer–Harvie–Weare
thermodynamic model of aqueous electrolyte solutions was chosen to
simulate the solubility of (LiCl + Li2SO4 +
H2O) at (288.15 and 308.15) K. Reasonable agreement between
the predicted solubilities and experimental data was found.
