Phase equilibria in the Na,K,Mg,Ca‖SO4,Cl-H2O system at 50°C in the astrakhanite crystallization region

Phase equilibria of the Na,K,Mg,Ca‖SO4,Cl-H2O system at 50°C in the astrakhanite (Na2SO4 · MgSO4 · 4H2O) crystallization region were studied using the translation method. Astrakhanite was found to be involved, as an equilibrium phase of the title system, in 35 divariant fields, 39 monovariant curves, and 22 invariant points. The data gained were used to construct a fragment of a schematic equilibrium phase diagram of the title system in the astrakhanite crystallization region.
