Phase equilibria calculation of LaI3-MI (M=Na, K, Cs) binary systems

Abstract The Gibbs energies of liquid phases in the LaI 3 -MI (M= Na, K, Cs) systems were described by the modified quasi-chemical model. From the measured phase equilibrium data of these binary systems, a set of thermodynamic functions were optimized by using the CALPHAD technique. The enthalpy of mixing and the interaction parameter of the liquid phase were predicted from known data for the LaI 3 -MI systems.

Thermodynamic optimization and calculation of phase diagrams of YbCl3-MCl (M=Na, K, Rb, Cs)

YbCl3-MCl (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs) systems were optimized and calculated using the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagram) technique. The modified quasi-chemical model in the pair-approximation for short-range ordering was used to describe the Gibbs energies of liquid phase in the systems. On the basis of the measured phase diagram data and experimental thermodynamic properties, a series of thermodynamic functions were optimized and calculated through an interactive computer-assisted analysis. Furthermore, some reasonable discussions on the thermodynamic parameters for these strong interaction binary systems were carried out. The results showed that the optimized parameters and experimental data are thermodynamically self-consistent.
