Abstract

The phase diagrams of the systems KF-K2TaF7 and KF-Ta2O5 were determined using the thermal analysis method. The phase diagrams were described by suitable thermodynamic model. In the system KF-K2TaF7 eutectic points at x KF=0.716 and t=725.4°C and at x KF=0.214 and t=712.2°C has been calculated. It was suggested that K2TaF7 melts incongruently at around 743°C forming two immiscible liquids. The system KF-Ta2O5 have been measured up to 8 mol% of Ta2O5. The eutectic point was estimated to be at x KF∼0.9 and t∼816°C. The formation of KTaO3 and K3TaO2F4 compounds has been observed in the solidified samples.
