BET Modeling of Solid–Liquid Phase Diagrams of Common-Ion Binary Salt Hydrate Mixtures. II. Calculation of Liquidus Temperatures
The BET method, according to which a molten salt hydrate is considered as if the water is “adsorbed” on “sites” of the salt, was used to model the liquidus temperatures of binary mixtures of common-ion salt hy...
