Key Laboratory of Comprehensive and Highly Efficient Utilization of Salt Lake Resources, Qinghai Institute of Salt Lakes, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xining 810008, People’s Republic of China ‡ Key Laboratory of Salt Lake Resources Chemistry of Qinghai Province, Xining 810008, People’s Republic of China § Qinghai Engineering and Technology Research Center of Comprehensive Utilization of Salt Lake Resources, Xining 810008, People’s Republic of China ∥ College of Materials and Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, People’s Republic of China ABSTRACT: The solubilities of salts in the (NaBr + MgBr2 + CaBr2 + H2O) system and its two ternary subsystems (NaBr + MgBr2 + H2O) and (NaBr + CaBr2 + H2O) are investigated at 298.15 K by the isothermal dissolution equilibrium method. The equilibrium phase diagrams of the three systems were obtained using the experimental results. In the three systems, neither solid solution nor double salt was found. In the two ternary phase diagrams, there are two invariant points, three dissolution equilibrium curves and three crystallization fields. The equilibrium solid phases in the (NaBr + MgBr2 + H2O) system are NaBr, NaBr·2H2O and MgBr2·6H2O, and those in the (NaBr + CaBr2 + H2O) system are NaBr, NaBr·2H2O and CaBr2·6H2O. The phase diagram of the quaternary system at 298.15 K consists of one invariant point, four solubility curves and four regions (corresponding to NaBr, NaBr·2H2O, MgBr2·6H2O, and CaBr2·6H2O). The solubilities of salts in the quaternary system and its two subsystems were calculated at 298.15 K by Pizter equation. The predicted results are in agreement with the experimental results.

1. INTRODUCTION Bromine and its compounds are important chemical materials with a variety of applications in many fields, such as flame retardation, pharmaceutics, printing and dyeing, pesticides, additives, and many others. Bromine can be extracted from bittern. Sichuan, covering an area of 2 × 105 km2, has large reserves of underground brines, which contain great amounts of sodium chloride and calcium chloride and are also rich in boron, potassium, bromine, strontium, iodine, lithium. and rubidium. The concentrations of all these elements are higher than those required for mining. In recent years, extraction of bromide was mainly from the shallow-layer brines in Laizhou Bay, Shandong. The bromine contents in these brines are 105−350 mg/L, which are much lower than those in the underground brines in Sichuan Basin. The average concentration of bromide ion is 300 mg/L with a maximum concentration of 2533−2640 mg/L, which makes bromide important mineral resources in the Sichuan Basin.1,2 Phase diagrams can describe the relationship between phase equilibria and thermodynamic variables and thus help to determine the conditions of salting out and precipitation as well as separation and extraction of various components from the brines. Phase diagrams can also help to understand how different factors affect chemical and phase equilibria of brine components in a saline lake.3 The underground brines in Sichuan Basin can be expressed as the (Na + K + Ca + Mg + Sr + Cl + Br + B4O7 + SO4 + Li + © XXXX American Chemical Society

I + H2O) system. The solubilities of salts in its quaternary subsystem (NaBr + MgBr2 + CaBr2 + H2O) at 298.15 K were studied in this work, and relevant stable phase diagrams were constructed. On the basis of Pitzer equation, the solubilities of salts in the quaternary system and its two ternary subsystems were calculated at the same temperature using published parameters. The relevant studies can provide basic data for the comprehensive utilization of the brines.

determined by EDTA titration with erichrome black-T as an indicator by adding ammonia buffer solution. In the quaternary system, the total amount of Ca2+ and Mg2+ was measured first by EDTA titration. Then, the concentration of Ca2+ was determined with an indicator of calcium and the addition of NaOH solution. As a result, Mg2+ was converted into solid Mg(OH)2 in strong alkaline solution (pH ≥ 12) without affecting the chemical reaction of Ca2+ with EDTA. The adsorption of Mg(OH)2 makes the end point of the titration insensitive. In this paper, before adding the NaOH solution, 2−3 mL of a 5% dextrin solution was first added to inhibit the adsorption of the Mg(OH)2 precipitate to Ca2+ and indicator. The amount of Mg2+ was calculated by subtracting the amount of Ca2+ from the total amount of Ca2+ and Mg2+. The concentration of Na+ was calculated by the subtraction method based on ion charge balance.

The results from the salt solubility measurements in the (NaBr + MgBr2 + H2O) and (NaBr + CaBr2 + H2O) systems at 298.15 K are listed in Table 2 and 3, respectively. Their stable phase diagrams are plotted (see Figures 1 and 2) based on the corresponding compositions of liquid phase and wet residue in Tables 2 and 3. Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6 are the XRD photographs of the invariant points in the two systems. Crystallographic forms of equilibrium solids were determined by Schreinemakers residue method and X-ray diffraction method. The experiment results are consistent with those previously reported. Under this temperature condition, besides NaBr·2H2O and MgBr2·6H2O or CaBr2·6H2O, the anhydrous salt NaBr is simultaneously present in two systems. Both ternary systems belong to the hydrate II type. It can be found that there are three dissolution equilibrium curves, two invariant points, and three fields of crystallization in each of two ternary phase diagrams. Points E1and E2 are the invariant points of the (NaBr + MgBr2 + H2O) system (Table 1) at which the solutions are

to those of the (NaBr + MgBr2 + H2O) system. The phase diagrams of this ternary system at 288.15, 298.15, and 323.15 K have three crystallization regions, three dissolution equilibrium curves two and invariant points. The system belongs to the hydrate I type at 348 K. That is, its diagram only has one invariant point, two crystallization regions, and two dissolution equilibrium curves. The sodium bromide hydrate are NaBr· 2H2O at (288.15, 298.15, and 323.15) K, whereas its crystal water is lost at 348.15 K. For calcium bromide hydrates, the number of crystal water decreases with the temperature increasing. At 288.15 and 298.15 K, the number of crystal water is six, at 323.15 K it is four, and at 348.15 K it becomes two. In the phase diagrams at the four temperatures, the crystallization form of calcium bromide hydrates is the smallest due to its maximal solubility. Meanwhile, the crystallization field of NaBr gets bigger and bigger as temperature increases. The solid−liquid phase equilibria in ternary system (MgBr2 + CaBr2 + H2O) at 273.15, 298.15, 323.15 and 348.15 K have been published.10−12 At 273.15 and 298.15 K, it is of hydrate I type, whose hydrates are has MgBr2·6H2O and CaBr2·6H2O. At 323.15 and 348.15 K, a new solid phase 2MgBr2·CaBr2· 12H2O was found, so the ternary phase diagrams contain two invariant points, three crystallization regions, and three dissolution equilibrium curves. The measurements and calculation of phase equilibria in quaternary system at 348.15 K have been reported.13 Compared with the phase diagrams at 298.15 K, the phase field of NaBr·2H2O disappears, and the double salt 2MgBr2·CaBr2·12H2O forms at 348.15 K. The calcium bromide hydrate is CaBr2·6H2O at 298.15 K and becomes CaBr2·2H2O at 348.15 K. The phase diagram of the (NaBr + MgBr2 + CaBr2 + H2O) system at 348.15 K has two invariant points, five dissolution equilibrium curves, and four crystallization regions (three single salts NaBr, MgBr2·6H2O, CaBr2·2H2O, and one double salt 2MgBr2·CaBr2·12H2O). In the phase diagrams of the (NaBr + MgBr2 + CaBr2 + H2O) system at the two temperatures, the phase field of calcium salt is the smallest, whereas the sodium salt has the biggest phase field. It means that the solubility of sodium salt is the lowest, and it is easily crystallized from solution in this quaternary system. For the invariant points E1 and E2 of the ternary system NaBr + MgBr2 + H2O and the invariant points E3 and E4 of the NaBr + CaBr2 + H2O system, the experimental data of the liquid phase composition are basically the same in terms of the error range reported in the literature.4 However, the experimental data for the invariant point E5 of the MgBr2 + CaBr2 + H2O system were somewhat different from those previously reported.14 In addition to the errors of reagents, instruments, and pressure conditions used in the experiments, errors in the judgment of titration end point of the Ca2+ content titration due to the adsorption of Mg(OH)2 should also be included, and this error would also be carried over to determining the Mg2+ content.

ternary subsystems, new solid phase was not found in this quaternary system. The order of size of crystallization fields is NaBr·2H2O (DE2E4) > NaBr (E1E2E4E3) > MgBr2·6H2O (GE1F1E5) > CaBr2·6H2O (E5F1E3H). Because the phase diagrams of both ternary subsystems contain crystallization fields of NaBr·2H2O and NaBr at 298.15 K, this quaternary is somewhat special. In its phase diagram, the crystallization field of NaBr·2H2O is isolated by the cosaturation curve of NaBr and NaBr.2H2O. Therefore, the quaternary system only contains four dissolution equilibrium curves (curves E2E4, E1F1, E1E3, and E5F1) and one invariant point (point F1). According to the powder XRD photograph (Figure 9), at the invariant point F1, the solution is saturated with three single salts NaBr + MgBr2·6H2O + CaBr2·6H2O (Table 3). 3.2. Discussions. The (NaBr + MgBr2 + CaBr2 + H2O) system includes three ternary subsystems, (NaBr + MgBr2 + H2O), (NaBr + CaBr2 + H2O), and (MgBr2 + CaBr2 + H2O). A series of experimental solubility data of these systems have been reported within the temperature range from 273.15 to 348.15 K.4−9 The stable phase equilibrium data in ternary system (NaBr + MgBr2 + H2O) are available at 273.15, 298.15, 323.15, and 348.15 K.4−6 The phase diagram of this system contains only one invariant point, two crystallization fields (NaBr·2H2O and MgBr2·6H2O) and two dissolution equilibrium curves at 273.15 K. At 298.15 and 323.15 K, it contains two invariant points, three dissolution equilibrium curves, and three crystallization fields (NaBr, NaBr·2H2O and MgBr2·6H2O). It transforms into the hydrate I type at 348.15 K, as the phase field of sodium bromide dihydrate disappears. The phase diagrams of ternary system (NaBr + CaBr2 + H2O) at 288.15, 298.15, 323.15, and 348.15 K5,7−9 are similar

three systems at 298.15 K, no solid solution was found. For the calculation of invariant points and boundary points (invariant points of subsystems), the nonlinear equations are established with Pitzer equation and solid−liquid equilibrium conditions. The equations are solved using MatLab software and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The calculation can give the molality of each ion and then the corresponding Jänecke dry salt indices can be calculated. On each dissolution equilibrium curves of the quaternary system, the solution is saturated with two equilibrium solid phases. The concentration of a certain ion was given equally spaced to calculate the concentrations of the other ions at each point, and the dissolution equilibrium curve can be obtained with the method mentioned above. Using experimental data and calculated results, the

model of electrolyte solutions proposed by Pitzer.15 With the improvement of many scholars, Pitzer model can be successfully applied to electrolyte solutions up to high temperatures, high pressures, and high concentrations, which basically solves the problem of the thermodynamic calculation of the electrolyte solutions in equilibrium state. Using the correlation equation of the Pizter parameters as functions of temperature in the literature, the single salt parameters, mixed salt parameters and standard chemical potentials of bromide solid phases in the (NaBr + MgBr2 + CaBr2 + H2O) system and its two subsystems at 298.15 K were calculated and are listed in Tables 5−7, respectively.

experimental and calculated phase diagrams of the three systems at 298.15 K were plotted in Figures 10, 11, and 12. Figures 10−12 show good agreement between calculated and experimental phase diagrams of the quaternary system and two ternary subsystems at 298.15 K. The compositions of all invariant points are listed in Table 8. Apparently, the calculated points A, B, C, E3, and F1 are close to experimental results, but the calculated results at points E1, E2, E4, and E5 have certain deviations from the experimental values.

5. CONCLUSIONS The stable solid−liquid equilibria of the (NaBr + MgBr2 + CaBr2 + H2O) system and its two subsystems (NaBr + MgBr2 + H2O) and (NaBr + CaBr2 + H2O) were investigated at 298.15 K by the method of isothermal dissolution. The results indicate that three systems are all of the hydrate II type without solid solution or double salt formed. The results of the two ternary subsystems are in accordance with previous experimental results. Both phase diagrams consist of two invariant points, three dissolution equilibrium curves, and three fields of crystallization. The solids are NaBr, NaBr·2H2O, and MgBr2·6H2O in the (NaBr + MgBr2 + H2O) system and are NaBr·2H2O, MgBr2·6H2O, and CaBr2·6H2O in the (NaBr + CaBr2 + H2O) system. The phase diagram of the quaternary system at 298.15 K contains only one invariant point, but has four dissolution equilibrium curves and four crystallization fields, which is different from the phase diagram topology of most quaternary salt-water systems. No new salt was found in this quaternary system. The crystallization field of NaBr·2H2O is adjacent to only one quaternary dissolution equilibrium curve. The solubilities of salts in the quaternary system and its two ternary subsystems at 298.15 K were calculated by Pitzer equation. The results show that the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
