Abstract

<p>The ε values in the internal cation mobilities of (Li, Na, K)(CO3)0.5 of the eutectic composition (43.5-31.5-25.0 mol %) in the temperature range from 773 K to 1023 K have been measured by a countercurrent electromigration method, that is the Klemm method, where ε is defined as (uiuj)/ua; ua is the average internal cation mobility and subscripts i and j refer to any two of three cations. From the present data and the densities and electric conductivities, the internal cation mobilities of uLi, uNa and uK have been calculated. The internal mobility of Li+, uLi, was compared to the empirical equation expressed for binary alkali carbonates. The orders of the internal cation mobilities were uK < uLi < uNa at 773-873 K, uLi < uK < uNa at 923 K, and uLi < uNa < uK above 973 K, although these were broadly equal to one another. These orders could be interpreted in terms of the dynamic dissociation model previously presented.</p>
