VISCOSITY OF AQUEOUS MIXTURES OF SILVER AND THALLIUM NITRATES WITH CALCIUM OR CADMIUM NITRATES FROM PURE FUSED SALT TO PURE WATER

Fused salt-water systems extending from pure fused salt to pure water have been less studied than dilute aqueous solutions, despite their practical and theoretical importance. Even fewer studies have been made regarding the influence of the temperature upon transport properties. The present publication brings new interesting information on the viscous flow properties of the following two fused nitrate-water systems containing monovalent and divalent cations: AgNO3-TINO3-M(NO3)2-H2O where M=Ca or Cd, with the TINO3 and M(NO3)2 mole fractions in the anhydrous salt fixed at 0.436 and 0.100, respectively. The parameters in the Arrhenius, Eyring, Batschinski and the Abraham and Abraham equations are found to be well correlated with the properties of the components of the melts. The temperature effect allows a discussion to be made in terms of structural features such as holes and free volumes. © 1990 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
