The heat capacities on two minerals of hungchaoite (MgB4O7·9H2O, Hu) and mcallisterite (MgB6O10·7.5H2O, Mc) have been measured with a precision calorimeter at temperatures ranging from 306.15 to 355.15 K, experimentally. It was found that there are no phase transition and thermal anomalies, and the molar heat capacities against temperature for the minerals of hungchaoite and mcallisterite were fitted as C p , m , Hu   =   − 27019.23675 + 229.55286 T   −   0.63912 T   2   +   ( 5.95862   ×   10   − 4 )   T   3 and C p , mMc   =   − 9981.88552   +   84.10964 T   −   0.22685 T   2   +   ( 2.0593   ×   10   − 4 )   T   3 , respectively. The molar heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of (HT-H298.15), (ST-S298.15), and (GT-G298.15) at intervals of 1 K for the two minerals were obtained for the first time. These results are significant in order to understand the thermodynamic properties of those minerals existing in nature salt lakes, as well as applying them to the chemical engineering process design.

In this paper, in order to understand the thermodynamic properties of natural minerals of pinnoite (MgB2O4·3H2O, Pin) and inderite (Mg2B6O11·15H2O, Ind) deposited in salt lakes, heat capacities of two minerals were measured using a precision calorimeter at temperatures from 306.15 to 355.15 K after the high purity was synthesized. It was found that there are no phase transitions and thermal anomalies for the two minerals, and the molar heat capacities against temperature for Pin and Ind were fitted as Cp,m,pin = −2029.47058 + 16.94666T − 0.04396T2 + 3.89409×10−5T3 and Cp,m,Ind = −30814.43795 + 282.68108T − 0.85605T2 + 8.70708×10−4T 3, respectively. On the basis of molar heat capacities (Cp,m) of Pin and Ind, the thermodynamic functions of entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy at the temperature of 1 K interval for the two minerals were obtained for the first time.

This paper reports the molar heat capacities of β-CsB5O8·4H2O, which were measured by an accurate adiabatic calorimeter from 298 to 373 K with a heating rate of 0.1 K/min under nitrogen atmosphere. Neither phase transition nor thermal anomalies were observed. The molar heat capacity against temperature was fitted to a polynomial equation of Cp,m (J·mol−1·K−1) = 618.07702 + 39.52669[T − (Tmax + Tmin)/2]/(Tmax − Tmin)/2] − 3.46888[(T − (Tmax + Tmin)/2)/(Tmax − Tmin)/2]2 + 7.9441[(T − (Tmax+ Tmin)/2)/(Tmax − Tmin)/2]3. The relevant thermodynamic functions of enthalpy (HT − H298.15), entropy (ST − S298.15), and Gibbs free energy (GT − G298.15) of cesium pentaborate tetrahydrate from 298 to 375 K of 5 K intervals are also obtained on the basis of relational expression equations between thermodynamic functions and the molar heat capacity.

In the present work, an extensive and detailed theoretical investigation is reported on the thermomechanical, electronic and thermodynamic properties of zinc-blende (sphalerite, zb-ZnS) and rock-salt zinc sulfide (rs-ZnS) over a wide range of pressure, by means of ab initio Density Functional Theory, Gaussian type orbitals and the well known B3LYP functional. For the first time, vibrational frequencies, phonon dispersion relations, elasto-piezo-dielectric tensor, thermodynamic and thermomechanical properties of rs-ZnS were calculated with a consistent approach that allows a direct comparison with the low-pressure polymorph. Special attention was paid to the evaluation of the thermodynamic pressure–temperature stability of the mineral phases between 0–25 GPa and 0–800 K. The static (T = 0 K) bulk moduli of sphalerite and rock-salt ZnS were 72.63 (3) GPa and 84.39 (5) GPa, respectively. The phase transition in static conditions calculated from the equation of state was about 15.5 GPa, whereas the elastic constants data resulted in P trans = 14.6 GPa. At room temperature (300 K), the zb-rs transition occurs at 14.70 GPa and a negative Clapeyron slope (dP)/(dT) = 0.0023 was observed up to 800 K. The electronic band structure showed a direct band gap for zb-ZnS (E g = 4.830 eV at equilibrium geometry), which became an indirect one by increasing pressure above 11 GPa. The results were found to be in good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data, further extending the knowledge of important properties of zinc sulfide, in particular the thermomechanical ones of the rock-salt polymorph here extensively explored for the first time.

The heat capacity of lithium pentaborate pentahydrate has been measured using an adiabatic calorimeter at the temperature from 297 to 375 K. No phase transition and thermal anomalies were observed. The molar heat capacity of LiB5O8·5H2O can be expressed as Cp,m (J·mol−1·K−1) = 396.79376 + 35.87528 [T-(Tmax+Tmin)/2]/[(Tmax-Tmin)/2] + 0.16494[T-(Tmax+Tmin)/2]/[(Tmax-Tmin)/2]2 + 8.3083[T-(Tmax+Tmin)/2]/[(Tmax-Tmin)/2]3, where T is the temperature in Kelvin, Tmax=375 K, and Tmin=297 K. The thermodynamic functions of (HT-H298.15), (ST-S298.15), and (GT-G298.15) of LiB5O8·5H2O are obtained via the molar heat capacity at the temperature of 5 K intervals.
