Phase diagram and thermodynamic properties of the system MnCl2–UCl4, prediction and investigation results

Abstract The MnCl2–UCl4 system was studied employing differential thermal analysis, common thermal analysis and high-temperature cryometry. From the results obtained, both the phase diagram and the thermodynamic characteristics of liquid phases of the system have been determined. The results were discussed in terms of regularities found in the phase equilibria of binary salt systems with common anion and compared with those for other systems of the type MCln–UCl4. It appeared that the results confirmed earlier predictions on the title system.
