STABLE TETRAEDR OF LiF-LiCl-Li2SO4-NaCl
With differential-thermal method of physicochemical analysis; using the General rules of the projection-thermographic method; the surface was studied of the liquidus stable tetrahedron LiF–LiCl–Li2SO4–NaCl of quaternary mutual system Li;Na//F;Cl;SO4. As a result of researches it was established that the system implements the quadruple eutectic point melting at 410 °C. Increased interest in involvement in the global energy balance of renewable energy sources (RES); encourages research to identify the eutectic salt mixtures capable of accumulating heat energy. Research undertaken with the aim of developing nizkodubova; eutectic composition; which can be used in thermal batteries as coolant of accumulators. As research object the stable tetrahedron LiF – LiCl – Li2SO4 – NaCl four-component mutual system was selected. This system was formed from the halides and sulfates of lithium and sodium. The choice of the research object is due to the fact that its composition includes lithium salt with large values of enthalpies of phase transitions. For planning of experimental researches; analysis of systems with lower dimensionality within free of the system under study was carried out. The results revealed that the most informative section for an experimental study in the system LiF –LiCl – Li2SO4 – NaCl is a cross-section of selected volume of the crystallization of lithium chloride. Based on these considerations; in a volume of the crystallization of lithium chloride the two-dimensional polythermal cross section ABC was choosen. The phase diagram of the section MN located at the cross-section ABC was DTA experimentally investigated. It allows determining the ratio of lithium fluoride and sodium chloride in the quaternary eutectic. Further; consistent analysis of DTA-dimensional polythermal sections- В – а –Ē□; (LiCl)2 – Ē□ – E□ - the ratio of sulfate and lithium chloride in the quaternary eutectic was determined. The revealed by such a way the eutectic contains (LiF)2 – 10.4%; (LiCl)2 – 38%; Li2SO4 -23.6%; (NaCl)2 – 28%. The crystallization temperature was 410 °C. Taking into account that all components of eutectic have relatively large values of enthalpies of phase transitions; it can be assumed that the identified eutectic composition will have sufficient value of ΔНпл. Therefore; the composition can be recommended as a coolant for devices of thermal energy storage.
