摘要

The study of dissolution thermodynamics of Li3PO4 in Li–Na–K–B–Cl–S system is of significance to direct prepare Li3PO4 with phosphates which avoids concentrating the LiCl brine. The solubility of Li3PO4 was determined in the Li–Na–K–B–Cl–S system and LiCl brine within the temperature range of 291.15 to 363.15 K. The results indicate that the solubility of Li3PO4 in Li–Na–K–B–Cl–S is related to temperature and impurities, decreasing with increasing temperature. Small amounts of Na2B4O7 show the most significant improvement in the solubility of Li3PO4, followed by Na2SO4. The ion association structure plays a crucial role in reducing the solubility of Li3PO4 as the concentration of NaCl or KCl increases. The common ion effect of added LiCl on the reduction of Li3PO4 solubility is more significant than the salting-out effect of added NaCl or KCl. Furthermore, the Van’t Hoff, Modified Apelblat, and Quadratic Polynomials models were used to fit solubility, where the Quadratic Polynomials model performs best. The maximum values of the relative deviation (RD), relative mean deviation (RAD) and root mean square deviation (RMSD) were 1.71%, 6.58 × 10−3, and 4.22 × 10−5. Moreover, apparent thermodynamic parameter analysis indicated that the dissolution of Li3PO4 in Li–Na–K–B–Cl–S systems is unfavorable to exothermal and exentropic. This process is non-spontaneous, primarily driven by entropy. The salt solution exhibits a non-linear enthalpy-entropy compensation relationship, and the driving forces varies with the content of components. This study will provide thermodynamic basis for crystallization process of Li3PO4 from Dong-Taijinaier Salt Lake in the industrial production process.
