Abstract: | Many papers have been published in relation to the NaNO3-KNO3 phase diagram determination in the last 160 years. These papers fall in two categories: (1) the solid-liquid equilibrium is assumed to be of the eutectic type, and (2) the solid-liquid equilibrium is considered as a loop with a minimum. The discordance between the two views is related to the slow transition kinetics that complicate the assessment of thermal 'fluctuations', and also to the appearance of a metastable form of potassium nitrate. The main result of this paper is the experimental phase diagram constructed with new experimental data so that we can assure that the second option is correct. This phase diagram is defined by a eutectoid invariant, an asymmetric immiscibility gap and a continuous solid solution with a minimum of melting point. Additionally, the ABu model simulates correctly the experimental piece of evidence. |
