Experimental investigation and modeling of phase equilibria for Cu-Bi and Cu-Bi-Sb alloys in vacuum distillation

摘要

The measurements of vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) for Cu-Bi and Cu-Bi-Sb alloys in vacuum distillation were performed. We calculated the VLE diagrams of Cu-Bi and Cu-Bi-Sb alloys at 10 Pa by Wilson equation only using binary parameters. Thermodynamic consistency tests of experimental data for the binary and ternary systems were discussed using the Van Ness method. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data. The VLE data can be used for designing the purification process and phase separation of crude copper in vacuum metallurgy.
