The solubility isotherm of the system NH4Br.MgBr2.6 H2O - RbBr.MgBr2.6 H2O - H2O has been investigated at 75 °C and formation of a continuous series of mixed crystals is established. The factors determining the values of the distribution coefficients of the components between the crystalline and liquid phases are discussed.

The validity of using a distribution coefficient (Kd) in the mathematical prediction of strontium and cesium transport through uniform saturated sand was investigated by comparing measured breakthrough curves with curves of simulations using the advection-dispersion and the advection equations. Values for Kd were determined by batch equilibration tests and, indirectly, by fitting the mathematical model to breakthrough data from column experiments. Although the advection-dispersion equation accurately represented the breakthrough curves for two nonreactive solutes (chloride and tritium), neither it nor the advection equation provided close representations of the strontium and cesium curves. The simulated breakthrough curves for strontium and cesium were nearly symmetrical, whereas the data curves were very asymmetrical, with long tails. Column experiments with different pore-water velocities indicated that the shape of the normalized breakthrough curves was not sensitive to velocity. This suggests that the asymmetry of the measured curves was the result of nonlinear partitioning of the cations between the solid and liquid phases, rather than nonequilibrium effects. The results indicate that the distribution coefficient, when used in advection-dispersion models for prediction of the migration of strontium and cesium in field situations, can result in significant error.

Coherent deposits of oriented, crystalline MxM′4−xV6O16+δ, with M, M′ = K, Rb, Cs, or NH4, 0.0 ≤ x ≤4.0 and 0.00 ≤ δ ≤ 0.13, have been prepared electrochemically on various conducting substrates from metavanadate solutions containing ammonium or alkali metal cations, singly or in combination. Chemical analysis and X-ray diffraction show that the deposits consist of a continuous series of mixed crystals based on the isomorphic end members M4V6O16 and M′4V6O16.The deposits can be oxidized electrochemically, with removal of M and M′ atoms, and the products can be used as cathodes for insertion of lithium, with the largest capacity achieved about 1.0 mol% of total vanadium. Cycling of the electrodes improves capacity, with insertion of lithium reaching 25 mol% of total vanadium. This gain in capacity results from further removal of alkali metal or ammonium ions from the electrode during the oxidation step of the cycling process.The results extend the range of composition of homogeneous phases in the system (NH4)2O–K2O–V2O4–V2O5. Keywords: alkali metal hexavanadates, electrochemical preparation.On a préparé des dépôts cohérents qui contiennent des cristaux orientés de MxM′4−xV6O16+δ, avec M, M′ = K, Rb, Cs ou NH4, 0,0 ≤ x ≤4,0 et 0,00 ≤ δ ≤ 0,13, par la méthode de voltammétrie cyclique sur des substrats divers et dans des solutions de metavanadates qui contiennent des cations des métaux alcalins ou d'ammonium seuls ou des combinations de tels ions. L'analyse chimique et la diffraction des rayons X ont démontré que les dépôts comprennent une série continue de cristaux mixtes basée sur les membres terminaux M4V6O16 et M′4V6O16.



The following paper is a continuation of two previous papers in which the melting- and freezing-point curves for two pairs of substances, each of which forms mixed crystals, have already been determined. In the first of these papers* mixtures of naphthalene and β -naphthol were examined and found to form a continuous series of mixed crystals and to give curves of Roozeboom’s Type I, in which the melting points of the pure substances.

The solubility isotherms of the systems Na2SO4 ·10H2O–Na2SeO4·10H2O–H2O and Na2SO4·7H2O–Na2SeO4 ·7H2O–H2O have been investigated at 15 °C. It is established that discontinuous series of mixed crystals are formed in both systems. Two methods of calculation of the free Gibbs energy of phase transition at the interruption point of the solubility diagrams are used: (i) on the basis of the composition of the two mixed crystal types, which are in equilibrium with the saturated solution in the eutonic point of the system, and (ii) from the distribution coefficients between each of the mixed crystal phases and their saturated solution, using both experimentally obtained values and calculated distribution coefficients for ideal isomorphic mixing. The data found by the two methods exhibit very good agreement. It is established that the free Gibbs energy of the phase transition in the case of decahydrates is lower than in the case of heptahydrates. This fact is considered as a confirmation of the buffering action of water molecules with respect to the distortion of the crystal structures of the pure salts provoked by the formation of mixed crystals.

The behaviour of mixtures of naphthalene and β-naphthol has already been investigated, and the freezing and melting point curves and the curve of spontaneous crystallisation for these mixtures described.* These substances were found to form a continuous series of mixed crystals, on a curve of Roozeboom’s Type 1, the melting and freezing points of all the mixtures lying between the melting points of the pure substances. The behaviour of mixtures of monochloracetic acid and naphthalene was also investigated, for it was stated by Cady that these substances form mixed crystals of Roozeboom’s Type 5, whose melting and freezing point curves exhibit a minimum or eutectic freezing point. Experiments were therefore made with these substances with the object of determining the form of the curve of spontaneous crystallisation, or supersolubility curve, for mixtures of this type. No sign of the formation of any mixed crystals was observed, however, in a lengthy series of experiments, and it was shown that naphthalene and monochloracetic acid give the ordinary V-shaped freezing point curve for the solutions of two substances in each other, similar to that already obtained for mixtures of salol and betol,§ the only new feature being introduced by the existence of three modifications of monochloracetic acid. The monochloracetic acid and naphthalene mixtures having thus failed as an example of mixed crystals possessing a minimum or eutectic freezing point, another attempt was made to obtain a pair of substances with convenient melting points which form mixed crystals and possess the melting and freezing point curves with minimum eutectic point characteristic of Roozeboom’s Type 5.
