Abstract

The hydrates of cobalt and nickel nitrates are highly relevant as precursors for the preparation of mixed ceramics. In order to verify the numerous bibliographical data, systematic solubility measurements in aqueous medium under atmospheric pressure and a critical evaluation have been undertaken. By taking solvation phenomena into account, it has proved possible to correlate all the phenomena observed, to obtain equations representative of the liquidus curves, and to refine and extrapolate the experimental curves. The whole stable and metastable coordinates of the invariant transformations in both binary systems have been calculated or more accurately determined.
