Summary
-
1.
A study has been made of the solubility relations at 55° in the reciprocal system;
$$[CaSO_4 + 2KCl \rightleftarrows K_2 SO_4 + CaCl_2 ] - H_2 O$$and in the ternary systems:
$$KCl - CaCl_2 - H_2 O;CaSO_4 - CaCl_2 - H_2 O;CaSO_4 - K_2 SO_4 - H_2 O.$$ -
2.
In the reciprocal system 7 fields of crystallization have been established, and of these 3 correspond to double salts; syngenite, K2SO4·CaSO4·H2O; potassium pentacalcium sulfate, 5CaSO4·K2SO4·H2O; and hydrophylite, KCl·CaCl2.
-
3.
The formation of calcium chloride proceeds owing to the formation of the difficultly soluble double salt, syngenite.
-
4.
Lowering of temperature favors the double-decomposition reactions.
-
5.
The occurrence of calcium chloride in the zone of crystallization of potassium salts in the Solikam deposits may be explained, as can also other metamorphization reactions, by the double-decomposition reaction studied.
