Abstract

Solubility data for the quaternary system (KCl + MgCl2 + K2B4O7 + MgB4O7 + H2O) is very important for the separation of potassium and boron from the salt lake brines in Qaidam Basin. The solubilities and physicochemical properties including density and refractive index of the quaternary system (KCl + MgCl2 + K2B4O7 + MgB4O7 + H2O) at 318.15 K and 0.1 MPa were investigated experimentally with the method of isothermal dissolution equilibrium. In the phase diagrams of this quaternary system at 318.15 K, there are three invariant points, seven univariant isotherm dissolution curves, and five crystallization regions corresponding to KCl, MgCl2⋅6H2O, K2B4O7⋅4H2O, Mg2B6O11⋅15H2O and double salt KCl⋅MgCl2⋅6H2O, respectively. The solution density and refractive index of the quaternary system at 318.15 K change regularly with the increasing of Mg2+ concentration.
