ABSTRACT: The phase equilibria of the quaternary system K+, Mg2+// Cl−, borate−H2O were studied at T = 298 K using an isothermal dissolution method. On the basis of the experimental data, the stable equilibrium phase diagram and the diagrams of the density versus composition and refractive indices versus composition of this quaternary system at 298 K were constructed. This phase diagram consists of three invariant points, seven univariant curves, and five crystallization fields corresponding to the single salt MgB4O7·9H2O, KCl, MgCl2·6H2O, K2B4O7·4H2O, and the double salt KCl·MgCl2·6H2O. The largest crystallization field is MgB4O7·9H2O; the smallest crystallization field is MgCl2·6H2O. By comparison with the stable phase diagram of system K+, Mg2+//Cl−, borate−H2O at 288, 298, and 323 K, the crystalline forms of salts are not changed, and the crystalline form of borate are B4O5(OH)42−. The crystallization field of MgB4O7·9H2O decrease obviously at 323 K. The crystallization region of KCl and K2B4O7·4H2O increases evidently, and the crystallization region of MgCl2·6H2O and KCl·MgCl2·6H2O changes slightly, meaning temperature has little impact on the solubility of KCl·MgCl2·6H2O and MgCl2·6H2O.



equilibrium of the system K+, Mg2+//Cl−, borate−H2O at different temperatures are necessary.

INTRODUCTION The area of Sichuan basin is much larger than 20 × 104 km2, and underground brine are widely distributed in it. Pingluo underground brine,1 one of the most important liquid mineral resources located in Sichuan Basin, belongs to chloride type brine and is abundant with minerals such as potassium, lithium, rubidium, and borate.2 The concentration of potassium in Pingluo underground brine is as high as 53.267 g/L.3,4 It is well-known that phase equilibria are the base of the development in brine resource. Till now, a series of phase equilibria have been studied. Jin5−7 studied Na+, K+, Mg2+// Cl−, SO42−−H2O at 288, 298, and 308 K. Song8 argued solubility prediction in ternary system Na+, Rb+// Cl−−H2O at 298 K with the Pitzer equation. Some others phase equilibria at different temperatures studied by our team, such as the ternary systems K+, Rb+//Cl−−H2O, K+, Mg2+//Cl−−H2O at 298 K9 and LiCl + KCl (MgCl2) + H2O at 348 K,10 the quaternary systems Li+, K+, Mg2+//borate−H2O at 348 K,11 Rb+, Mg2+// Cl−, borate−H2O at 348 K,12 Li+, K+, Rb+//Cl−−H2O at 298, 323, and 348 K.13−15 The quaternary system K+, Mg2+//Cl−, borate−H2O is an important subsystem of Pingluo underground brine. Up to now, the quaternary system K+, Mg2+//Cl−, borate−H2O has been investigated at 28816 and 323 K.17 No report has been found to describe the stable phase equilibria of this system at 298 K. In order to figure out the effect of temperature on this quaternary system and provide basic data for the development of underground brine, researches focus on the stable phase © 2016 American Chemical Society

K). Then stirred for 5−7 weeks to promote the establishing of the equilibrium and placed 2 days to keep the solution clearly. After that, the solid phase was separated from the liquid phase by filter. For the liquid phase, the densities of solution were measured using specific gravity bottle, with a precision of 0.002 g·cm3, and the refractive index of solution was determined using refractometer, with a precision of 0.0001. The density measured using specific gravity bottle in the room, we must adjust the temperature by air conditioner to control it. The refractometer link with the water bath oscillator, the water flows

in the refractometer, always keeps the temperature at 298 K, when we measured the refractive. Meantime, 5.0 mL of clarified solution was taken and diluted to analyze the composition. The crystallization forms of the salts in solid phase were tested using X-ray diffractometer. Analytical Methods. The composition of the liquid phase was determined by chemical analysis.18 Cl− was determined by AgNO3, with a precision of ±0.3%. B4O72− was determined by neutralization, with a precision of ±0.3%.

Among the five crystallization fields, the crystallization zone of salt MgCl2·6H2O is the smallest, and that of salt MgB4O7· 9H2O is the largest, which means that salt MgCl2·6H2O has the largest solubility in water than the other coexisted salts, whereas salt MgB4O7·9H2O has the smallest solubility and can be easier to separate from solution in this system at 298 K. Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6 are the X-ray diffraction patterns of the cosaturated salts corresponding the three invariant points F1, F2, and F3, respectively, with the abscissa ordinate 2θ from 10° to 60°. At the invariant points F1, the three cosaturated salts are KCl + K2B4O7·4H2O + MgB4O7· 9H2O, and the mass fraction composition of the equilibrated solution is w(K+) = 14.65%, w(Mg2+) = 0.25%, w(Cl−) = 12.12%, w(B4O72−) = 4.16%, w(H2O) = 68.82%. At the invariant points F2, the three cosaturated salts are KCl + KCl· MgCl2·6H2O + MgB4O7·9H2O, and the mass fraction

composition of the equilibrated solution is w(K+) = 1.85%, w(Mg2+) = 6.88%, w(Cl−) = 21.69%, w(B4O72−) = 0.10%, w(H2O) = 69.49%. At the invariant points F3, the three cosaturated salts are MgCl2·6H2O + KCl·MgCl2·6H2O + MgB4O7·9H2O, and the mass fraction composition of the equilibrated solution is w(K+) = 0.09%, w(Mg2+) = 8.91%, w(Cl−) = 25.82%, w(B4O72−) = 0.54%, w(H2O) = 64.64%. The water content vs composition diagram of this system at 298 K was listed in Figure 7, with J(Mg2+) as abscissa, J(H2O) as ordinate. It shows that at the univariant curve AF1, the water content changes obviously, while at the other univariant curves, the water content changes slightly. Based on the data in Table 2, the diagrams of the density vs J(Mg2+) and the refractive index vs J(Mg2+) were plotted in Figures 8 and 9. The density and refractive index values changes regularly, both of density and refractive index values on 1570

were determined at 298 K. The phase diagram of this quaternary system consists of three invariant points, seven univariant curves, and five crystallization fields. This system is of a complex type, with the double salt KCl·MgCl2·6H2O formed. By comparisons with the stable phase diagram of system K+, Mg2+//Cl−, borate−H2O at T = 288, 298, and 323 K, the crystalline forms of salts are the same at the observed temperature, whereas the crystallization fields change with the temperature. The crystallization field of MgB4O7·9H2O decreases obviously, while the crystallization region of K2B4O7·4H2O increases evidently with the increases of temperature, and the crystallization region of MgCl2·6H2O and KCl·MgCl2·6H2O changes slightly. Salt MgB4O7·9H2O has the smallest solubility and more easily separated from solution than the other coexisting salts.

Figure 10. Phase diagram of the quaternary system K+, Mg2+//Cl−, borate−H2O at 298, 288, and 323 K: ●, 298 K; ◆, 288 K, and ▲, 323 K).

the univariant curve BF1, F1F2, F2F3 increases with the increase of J(Mg2+). At the invariant point F3, the refractive index reaches the maximum value. The comparisons among the stable phase diagrams of the quaternary system K+, Mg2+//Cl−, borate− H2O at (298, 288, and 323 K) have been made, as shown in Figure 10. The crystalline forms of salts have not changed, whereas the solubilities of salts have changed with the temperature, which reflected on the changes of the crystallization fields. The crystallization field of MgB4O7·9H2O decreases obviously, while the crystallization region of K2B4O7·4H2O increases evidently with the increases of temperature, and the crystallization region of KCl, MgCl2·6H2O and KCl·MgCl2·6H2O change slightly. At different temperature, the crystallization field of salt MgB4O7· 9H2O is keeping the largest, indicates that MgB4O7·9H2O has the smallest solubility and more easily separated from solution than the other coexisting salts.
