Phase diagram of the system Li/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/-K/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/

Journal Article · · J. Solid State Chem.; (United States)

The Li/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/-K/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/ phase diagram was determined by use of differential thermal analyses with confirmation by high-temperature x ray diffraction. The outstanding features are the formation of a eutectic composition of approx. 22.5 mole % K/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/ between Li/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/ and the doublet salt, delta-Li/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/.K/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/, at 390/sup 0/C; the formation of a congruently melting double salt Li/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/.K/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/ with three solid state allotropic forms, ..gamma.., delta, and epsilon, the d spacings and colors of which are given; and the formation of a eutectic composition at approx. 54 mole % K/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/ between ..cap alpha..K/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/ and the doublet salt, ..gamma..-Li/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/.K/sub 2/CrO/sub 4/, at 525/sup 0/C. 2 figures, 2 tables.
