Thermodynamic properties of thulium and ytterbium in fused NaCl―KCl―CsCl eutectic
2011
Abstract This work presents the results of a study of the Tm 3+ /Tm 2+ and Yb 3+ /Yb 2+ couple redox potentials vs. Cl – /Cl 2 reference electrode at the temperature range (823 to 973) K in fused NaCl–KCl–CsCl eutectic by direct potentiometric method. Initial concentrations of TmCl 3 and YbCl 3 in solvents did not exceed 5.0 mol%. Basic thermodynamic properties of the reactions TmCl 2(l) + ½ Cl 2(g) ⇔ TmCl 3(l) and YbCl 2(l) + ½ Cl 2(g) ⇔ YbCl 3(l) were calculated using the temperature dependencies of apparent standard potentials of the couples E Tm 3 + / Tm 2 + ∗ and E Yb 3 + / Yb 2 + ∗ .
