Figure 1
Phase diagram of the binary system MgSO4–H2O at 1 MPa. Symbols report observed equilibria and the solid lines show stable liquidi and solidi; dashed lines indicate metastable extensions of various melting curves. The composition of the liquid at the eutectic, e1, is 17.1 wt % MgSO4, and at peritectic p1 = 21.3 wt % MgSO4. |
