The maximum bubble pressure method was used to determine the surface tension and density of melts within the PbCl2–KCl–NaCl system. The temperature range of this study was from 450 to 800 °C. In all cases, the surface tension was found to decrease with increasing temperature. At constant molar ratios of KCl to NaCl, a minimum in the surface tension was observed at approximately 40 mol% PbCl2. The ternary surface tension values were found to obey the simple additivity expression of the binary surface tensions of PbCl2–KCl and PbCl2–NaCl. Based on these findings, constant surface tension contours have been drawn.The density obtained in the present study agree well with the previously determined densities using a bottom-balance Archimedean technique reported by this laboratory.
