Abstract

Densities for aqueous solutions of magnesium tetraborate MgB4O7(aq) at the molalities of (0.00556–0.03341) mol·kg−1 were measured with an Anton Paar Digital vibrating-tube densimeter at temperature intervals of 5 K from 283.15 to 363.15 K and 0.1 MPa. Apparent molar volumes were obtained based on the experimental density data, and the 3D diagrams of the apparent molar volume (V ϕ ) of MgB4O7(aq) against temperature (T) and molality (m) were plotted. On the basis of the Vogel–Tamman–Fulcher equation, the coefficients of the correlation equation for densities of MgB4O7(aq) against temperature and molality were parameterized. According to the Pitzer ion-interaction model of the apparent molar volume, the temperature correlation equations of Pitzer single-salt parameters F(i,p,T) = a0 + a1 × T + a2 × T 2 + a3/T + a4 × ln(T) + a5 × T 3 (where T is temperature in Kelvin, a i are model parameters) for MgB4O7 were obtained for the first time.
