Abstract
The scheme of dissociation of cryolite in NaF-AlF3 Melts is proposed and ap plied to the LiF-AlF3 and KF-AlF3 systems. The constants and enthalpies of dissociation for alkali-cryolites are evaluated from experimental data. The mole fractions of each proposed species at 1298K in these three melt syste ms are calculated, and the variation of alumina solubility in alkali-cryoli te can be explained on the basis of the ionic structure for the MF- AlF3 (M : Li, Na and K) melts. The thermodynamic properties and liquidus data of MF -AlF3 systems are calculated by using the selected evaluated parameters. So me results are compared with experimental values.
