Abstract
We consider a lattice model for ternary solutions in which the lattice bonds are covered by molecules of types AA, BB, and AB, and the only interactions are between the molecular ends of a common lattice site. Using its equivalence with the standard Ising model for magnets, we derive the spinodal curve of the three-component model on the honeycomb lattice in the mean-field and Bethe-lattice approximations. The spinodal and the coexistence curves of the ternary solution are drawn at different values of the reduced temperature, the only parameter of the model. The particular case of a binary solution is also illustrated.
