In dealing with a system containing a number of phases at equilibrium, the following conditions must be satisfied:

1. The total free energy of the system is minimized. 2. Each component has equal chemical potential in the phases which

are in coexistence. 3. The free energy change of the system is zero.

In principle the equilibrium phase assemblage in a system, thus the phase diagram can be obtained by thermodynamic calculation if the free energy or the thermochemical parameters of the phases involved in the equilibrium are known. Actually the computation work on high temperature phase diagrams may stem from the studies by J. J. Van Laar^ in the early part of this century. At that time he defined a series of mathematical expressions for synthesizing binary equilibrium diagrams. The success and validity of this development has been recognized and confirmed by both the experimental and theoretical diagramists. How­ever, the development in the field of phase diagram calculation was still slow some fifty years after Van Laar's elegant papers were published because of lack of thermochemical data and complexity of the equilibria calculation procedures. Subsequently, most of the early work was limited to simple systems which contain a limited number of phases. A substantial amount of progress toward the calculation of high temperature phase diagram has been made since the sixties, and during the past twnety years a number of computer programs and facilities have been established, which allow the plotting of phase diagrams by equilibrium calculation and offer equilibrium data in a much shorter time than experimental investigation would allow. In addition, the calculation of results may also be helpful in evaluating the experimental data from different sources. The main progress that promotes the calculation methods may be summarized:

(1) Compilation of high temperature thermochemical data. Under the auspices of the Joint Army-Navy-Air Force Thermochemical Panel, the first edition of JANAF Thermochemical Tables^ were issued in 1965, which contain a great number of free energy and thermochemical parameters of interest in the high temperature systems. Subsequently revised edition and supplements of JANAF Tables and the like collections were continued. These published data formed a necessary and important data base for the heterogeneous equilibria calculations.

( 2 ) Progress in non-ideal solution theory. Several important approxi­mation expressions and structural models were suggested up to 1960s to represent the excess free energy of mixtures, which allowed the phase equihbria calculations beyond the ideal solution restrictions.

(3) Computer application. By the end of sixties, L. Kaufman and co­workers established a series of computer programs^"^ and applied them to calculate a number of binary and ternary equilibrium diagrams of the refractory metallic systems. Later on G. Eriksson published the SOLGAS-M I X program"^"^ which is capable of computing equilibria in gas participating high temperature systems. These and the other computation programs developed meant the speed and reliability of equilibrium calculations were greatly improved.

(4) CALPHAD project. Under the organization and active partici­pation of Kaufman and his colleagues, the C A L P H A D (calculation of phase diagram) project has been operational since 1973. Subsequently, the open yearly meeting started in 1975 and the first volume of the quarterly international journal CALPHAD was issued in 1977.

Two principal approaches are available for phase diagram compu­tation, by either minimizing the total free energy of the system or equilizing the chemical potentials for each of the components in the coexisting phases. A variety of computational procedures have been designed along such lines. Figure 5.1 illustrates one example of a computational route where the equilibrium state is attained by minimizing the total free energy of the system.

reference data tables, for instance in refs. 2 and 10-19, can be used for this purpose. Generally speaking, the species should be chosen from as many as possible in order to increase the reliability of the calculation results. If necessary a number of the species may be eliminated if their equilibrium concentrations are extremely low.

The thermodynamic functions can be evaluated resting upon either experimental data or estimation calculations. The following experimental approaches have provided and are providing the most thermochemical and thermodynamic data for the high temperature species.

(1) Calorimetry. Integration of heat capacity gives enthalpy and entropy

(2) Chemical equilibrium measurement. Free energy is given by

AG''=-RTlnK (5.4)

where AG^ and Κ are the standard free energy and equilibrium constant of chemical reaction. Differentiating equation (5.4) gives

dAG''/dT=-Rd{ln K)/dT

since d AG'^/dT= - AS"" and AG^ = Δ / / ^ - Τ

AH'' = RT^d{\nK)/dT (5.5)

(3) High temperature mass spectrometry. According to section 3.3.4.2, we may express the equilibrium constant of a high temperature mass spectrometric reaction as

Inserting Ä^into equation (5.4) allows calculation of free energy. The free energy function (G?-//^)/ris defined basing on the third law of

thermodynamics. This function often changes more slowly with tempera­ture than does the free energy itself. We can write AG^ for temperature Tas

and symmetric polyatomic molecule σ = 2 and asymmetric polyatomic molecule σ = 1, ν the vibrational frequency, and h and k are the Planck and Boltzmann constants respectively. The moments of inertia and vibrational frequencies of a molecule can be evaluated from the bond lengths, bond angles and geometric configuration of the molecule and the spectroscopic terms.

It should be noted that if data of the species involved in the equilibria calculation are taken from thermochemical tables which are defined on different reference states, then transformation calculations are required to bring the data into the same base. In conventional tables the data may be defined as atomic gases, stable form of elements or stable oxides. For instance, the specific reference state of CaO. SÍO2 may be the atomic gases Ca, Si and O; the stable forms Ca, Si and O 2 ; or the oxides CaO and SÍO2. Different values of the thermodynamic functions for the same substance will be found if the reference state is different. The following calculation offers an example showing how to transform from the reference state of atomic gases into the molecular forms.

In ref. 12, whose reference state is atomic gases, we have

Although a large number of thermochemical data have been collected and published so far, the data for some special interest may still be unavailable. A number of empirical and semiempirical methods for estimating thermochemical and thermodynamic properties have been developed.^^'^^ The numerical values thus obtained may be used in phase equihbria calculation or at least suggest an approximate pattern of the phase equilibria.

(1) Heat capacity. It has been known that the heat capacity of gases approximates a constant, Cp = 2\ J/K/mole for the monatomic molecule gases and = 29 J/K/mole for diatomic gases at room temperature, which correspond to the translational and translational plus rotational energy contribution in monatomic and diatomic molecules respectively. The vibrational energy in a diatomic molecule rises with increasing tempera­tures. The heat capacity of diatomic gases can be expressed as

ς , = 27.852 + 4.157χ (J/K/mole)

in temperature interval 300K-2300K. For heavy molecules whose molecular weight is larger than 100, the heat capacity approximates to 37 J/K/mole in the above temperature range. The geometric configuration of the molecules will also affect the heat capacity of polyatomic gases. The heat capacity can be roughly written as follows:

Linear molecule: 20.92 + 16.74Λ^

(the number of linkages inside the molecule)

Nonlinear molecule: 25.1 + 1 6 , 1 4 X

(the number of linkages inside the molecule)

According to Dulong and Petit's rule, the heat capacity at constant volume is a constant 25 J/K/mole. This rule often holds for the solid elements at room temperature or high temperatures. The heat capacity of solids increases with increasing temperature. At the first transition temperature, polymorphic transition or melting, Cp = 29.3 —30.3 J/K/mole of atoms.

Estimation of heat capacity of solids or liquids: Example At room temperature the heat capacity of CdO is

43.2 J/K/mole, and the melting point is 1385°C, then

ς , = 39.3 + 12.9 X 10"^Γ (J/K/mole)

Additive method:^^

(2) Entropy. The entropy of gases can be approximately evaluated by their molecular weights: the empirical formulas are:

5 -131.8 + 207.111 log Μ (±11.3)

Τ. Β. Lindemer et al^^ have provided an additive method for calculation of entropy of polyatomic gases. They consider the polyatomic molecule D^E^O^+^y as a complex molecule composed of x(Z)O), z{EO) and 0.5>^(θ2), where D and Ε may be all the elements except O and H. The entropy of the supposed complex molecule is expressed roughly as

Table 5.1 lists the heat capacity parameters of ionic components used in estimation calculations.

Example The heat capacity of Al2(S04)3 is estimated from the parameters in Table 5.1.

ς,(Αΐ2(8θ4)3, 298K) = 2 X 19.7 + 3 χ 76.5 = 268.9 J/K/mole

where the experimental value is 259.4 J/K/mole. Heat capacity additive rule in chemical reaction: The difference in heat capacities between reactants and products of

chemical reaction is usually small. Then we may suppose

Σ (^p)products Σ (^p)reactants ^

Since and AS are subtracted and vary simultaneously in the chemical reactions, the errors involved in the above equation for free energy calculation should tend to cancel out.

Two approaches are often used to estimate the entropy of solid substance.

(1) The entropy of a compound is calculated from its atomic or ionic components. Tables 5.2 and 5.3 list the entropy contribution parameters for conventional cations and anions in ionic solids. The calculated and experimental entropies are given in Table 5.4.

(2) Entropy of complex oxides can be approximately calculated by the summation of the component oxides.

(3) Heat and entropy of vaporization. According to Pietel-Trouton, the entropy of vaporization is nearly a constant:

5, = i/,/r, = 92 J/K/mole (5.18)

where subscripts ν and b denote vaporization and boihng. If the boiling

temperature is known, then the heat of vaporization can be simply calculated. This relation satisfies most substances except those having extremely low boihng points.

(4) Heat and entropy of melting. Different from vaporization, the entropy of melting is much smaller and varies from substance to substance, but is characteristic of the structure of solids. For inorganic substances, the melting entropy often decreases as the covalency or disorder of a structure

164 High temperature phase equilibria and phase diagrams

(5) Heat of formation. In many cases the heat of formation has a more important contribution to free energy than entropy. But, unfortunately, so far a generally usuable method for estimation of the heat of formation is still lacking. Most of the proposed approximation approaches are only applied to some specified or limited areas. Subsequently several such methods are briefly described.

(1) Interpolation from analogous compounds. Heat of formation of analogous compounds, consisting of the same metal and non-metallic elements in the same group in the Periodic Table or of the same non-metallic element with metallic elements of the same group, usually have a smooth plot (not necessarily linear or monotonous). Interpolation from the plot may possibly give an acceptably approximative value of unknown heat of formation. The following gives the interpolation examples:

From CaO(318)-^CaS(238.1)^CaSe(156.5)-^CaTe(x), we have x = 113-142; CaSn(104.6)^Ca3Sb2(145.6)->CaTe(x)^

Cal2(178.2), x = 146-176; Mg2Sn(25.5)^Mg3Sn2(66.1)^ MgTe(104.6)-^Mgl2(120.1), CaTe(x) , x = 126-167

where the numerals in the brackets are negative heats of formation in kJ/mole of atoms. The heat of formation for CaTe is estimated -290,000 + 29,000 J/mole.

(2) Figure 5.2 shows the Born-Haber thermochemical cycle which has been employed to evaluate the lattice energy of crystalline substances. However if the lattice energy and the other heat terms are known, the thermochemical cycle may also be used for calculation of the heat of formation, as demonstrated in Fig. 5.2.

(3) A number of empirical parametric formulas have been proposed for estimation of the heat of formation. However the physical and chemical parameters proposed there are frequently ambiguous and the parameters used may be different from different sources, therefore attention must be paid to the applicability and accuracy of these parameters. Otherwise erroneous results and unreliable conclusions can possibly be reached.

increases. Chemical analogues usually have similar entropy of melting although the melting point may be quite different. The melting entropy of alkali halides was found to be approximately equal to 12.6 J/K/mole of atoms and for binary alloys to be 9.2 J/K/mole of atoms for a disordered lattice and 14.6 J/K/mole of atoms for an ordered lattice.

In phase diagram calculation, inconsistency may sometimes exist in the data collected from different sources or in the results obtained. The following approaches may be employed in processing the data for the equilibria calculation.

Two computational methods^^ have been proposed to estimate the molar heat capacity contribution in equation (5.24). The first method defines a parameter as equation (5.27):

Average and R 2 are calculated (Table 5.5) and used to evaluate the unknown free energy function in analogous compounds.

where X; and G¿ represent the mole fraction and molar free energy of component i. The first term at the right side of equation (5.37) corresponds to the free energy of mechanical mixture, the second to the mixing free energy of an ideal solution, where AH^^^=0 and ^5^^^^ = — Λ X χ,· In(Xí), and the last term is the so-called excess free energy characteristic of the non-ideality of the mixture. The former two terms can be directly obtained from the data of pure components and concentrations, but the excess free energy is dependent upon the concentration, which can only be described either by a fitted equation with activity measurements or by an expression deduced from an assumed structural model of mixing.

5.3.2.2 Structural model

The deviation of measured activities in high temperature mehs from those calculated by ideal solution can be imagined to be caused by interactions between the components of the system. As a result, fragmental molecules (atoms or ions) and/or associates are formed. These must be treated as additional species with respect to the formulae of the mixing entropy, resulting in an activity description which can not be simply described by ideal solution terms of the original system. Structural model treatment aims to explain the activity changes in terms of the occurrence of the additional species and thereafter express their activities.

Consider the binary system A-B, in which the associated molecule Aßj is formed in the homogeneous liquid phase by

iA+jB=AiBj (5.48)

Take the bulk composition as n^ + rig, then the mole fraction x^ = ^Α/(^Α + "β) and = n^Hn^ + n^). If + = 1, then x^ = and = . At equilibrium suppose the number of moles of A, Β and Αβ^ is n^^, n^^ and η^.β., from (5.48) we have

In a modelled structure calculation, if the number of molecular, or associated species is greater than the number of components, their concentrations can not all be derived from the bulk composition. Additional parameters are required in order to describe the homogeneous equilibria in the system. For this purpose the following methods have been proposed:

(1) Supposing the reactions for forming the associated molecules have the same value of equilibrium constant."^ " ^ Along this line R. C. Masson deduced the following relations in silicate melts:

A close agreement of calculated equilibrium diagrams by the ideal solution model with experimental liquidus, solidus curves has been observed in a few high temperature systems in which tendencies towards formation of dissociated and associated molecules are low.

For a binary liquid we have

energy. At the same time, the free energy change of the system is equal to zero and the equahty of the chemical potential of each component holds in the coexisting phases. Principally there are two approaches for the equilibrium calculation. The first approach calculates the free energy of all the possible phase assemblages, regardless of whether they are stable or metastable. Afterwards the most stable state is picked out by comparison of the free energies calculated. The second approach takes the chemicals as variables, then the equihbrium state is determined by equalizing the chemical potentials. So far a number of computer programs^" ' ^"^"^ have been designed and established by which phase equihbria and phase diagrams can be directly constructed on the basis of thermochemical data of the phases involved in the equihbria. In addition, comparisons between the calculation results and experimental measurements are sometimes helpful to modify and evaluate the thermochemical data used in the equilibria calculation as well as to improve the calculation accuracy and reliability. Subsequently, several practical examples will be presented in order to further elucidate the thermodynamic and computational approaches for phase diagram calculation.

where is the number of moles in solid phase and n\ and η 2 are the number in the solid solution phase. Minimizing the free energy in the above equations reveals the equilibrium phase assemblage. This section deals with the free energy-composition plots by which the equilibrium phase composition can be obtained via the tangent line rule. The analytical computational approach will be described in section 5.4.4, which is most satisfactorily applied to the calculation in multicomponent systems.

Figure 5.3 illustrates the free energy-concentration plots of a binary system in which pure liquid was chosen as the reference state. It may be seen that at temperature all the mixtures of solid have lower free energy than the liquid. Therefore the solid phase is the stable phase. At temperature Γ3 the liquid phase is stable. and Γ3 are the temperatures below the eutectic point and above liquidus respectively. Between the two extremes, for instance, at Γ2, where G^{s)>G^{l) but 0 2 ( 5 ) > G 2 ( / ) , the equihbrium phase composition can be obtained as follows: Firstly draw straight lines through G^{s) and ^2 (5 ) insecting the free energy curve for the hquid mixture, for instance, at L^-L^ and L[-L^. The two end points of these tie lines will represent the composition of a solid phase and a hquid phase. Secondly, we draw a vertical line through the composition χ at which the equilibrium is calculated. The intersection point between the vertical line and the tie lines will give the free energy of the system, where the coexisting phases are the end members of the tie lines. By comparisons we would find that the phase assemblages containing solid 1 are unstable since their free energies are always higher than that of the liquid mixture. On the other hand, the equilibrium composition can be attained on the line G2(s)-L^ where the free energy is a minimum. The basic procedures for constructing phase diagram by the free energy-composition plots are summarized.

(1) If the free energies of both solids 1 and 2 are lower than the minimum of the free energy curve of liquid mixtures or all the sohd mechanical mixtures have lower free energies than the same composition of liquid mixtures, the temperature is below the solidus or eutectic point.

(2) Solid 1 or 2 or both are under the free energy curve of the liquid mixture but above the minimum. An equilibrium liquid composition can be obtained by drawing a straight line through the free energy of the solid(s) tangent to the free energy-composition curve for the liquid mixture. The tangent point corresponds to the equilibrium composition of hquid phase. The temperature is between the eutectic point and liquidus temperature of the bulk composition.

(3) If the free energies of both solids 1 and 2 are located above the free energy of the liquid, the temperature is above the liquidus and liquid is the stable phase.

As mentioned above the structural model considerations offer an approach to calculating phase diagrams of systems in which the behaviour of the mixtures deviates from the ideal solution but httle or no activity data are available.

where χ is the mole fraction of the component 2, G[ and G2 are the free energies of the pure liquid states of components 1 and 2, and ""G' is the

excess free energy of mixing, which is zero when χ = 0 or 1. In regular solution assumption,

"^G^ = L x { l - x ) (5.72)

where L is a constant characteristic of the interaction in the liquid. When L = 0 , the solution is ideal. The partial molar free energy is

G[^G'-a(^^ = G[^RT\n{\-x) + Lx^ (5.73)

For the case of a regular solution, a symmetrical miscibility gap is expected by equations (5.75) and (5.76) since x, = 1 — χ, , then

At the critical temperature, ^ = - ^ = - ^ = - ^ = 0,

If L > 0 , r^>0, then a miscibility gap results.

5.4.3.2 Solid-liquid equilibrium

Referring to equations (5.71) and (5.72), the free energy of a regular solid solution phase can be written as

G^ = ( l - x ) G f + xGf

where Β is the interaction constant for sohd solution β. The partial molar free energy of components 1 and 2 is

The XqIT] or Γο[χ] curve defines the locus of points where G^ = G'. The equilibrium relation between composition and temperature is obtained by solving the equation (5.86) or (5.87).

5.4.3.3 Equilibria involving the intermediate

compound

Consider an intermediate compound of composition x. The free energy of formation of phase φ is defined by

G' = (1 - x^)Gi + x^G* + x^(l - Χψ) (L - C) (5.88)

Page 31: High Temperature Phase Equilibria and Phase Diagrams || The calculation of phase diagrams

where k is selected as a base phase for the compound and C is a constant. If the phase boundary composition of the liquid phase coexisting with the φ phase is x,^, at the equilibrium point

G\U=G%, = Gtl^^^ (5.89)

G'2U = GtU^ = Gt\^^^^ (5.90) Substituting equations (5.73) and (5.74) into (5.89) and (5.90), and multiplying equation (5.89) by (1 — x^) and (5.90) by x^ gives

+ x^ In x¿^] + L(x^ — ΙΧφΧΐφ + xjj,) (5.91)

Equations (5.88)-(5.91) define x,^ as a function of temperature. The free energy equation between β and φ is

G^ = (1 - x ^ ) G f + x^G| + /?Γ[(1 - x ^ ) ln(l - x ^ ^ ) + x^ In x^^]

+ fi(x^-2x^x^^ + x^^^) (5.92)

5.4.3.4 Calculation of phase diagrams

Based on binary equihbrium equations, Kaufman and Bernstein built a series of computer programs to solve the equilibrium state in binary systems. The main program is called TRSE (Two Regular-Solution Equilibria). Data input includes the free energy difference parameters, the interaction constants and the temperature interval and increments. The program is used for solving equations (5.84) and (5.85). Program X O T O follows to compute X o [ Γ ] and Γο[χ] curves by using equations (5.86) and (5.87), and then LCRSE (Line Compound Regular-Solution Equihbria) to compute the boundary of the two-phase field between a regular solution phase, for example liquid or β phase, and the intermediate compound φ by means of equations (5.91) or (5.92). The output is fed into an A'-F plotter to plot the phase diagram.

5.4.3.5 Equilibrium calculation in a ternary system

The regular solution model has been extended to equilibrium calcula­tions in the ternary system. The free energy of ternary regular solution is given by

where subscripts 1, 2 and 3 represent components 1, 2 and 3, χ and y are the mole fractions of 2 and 3. ζ is the mole fraction o f l , z = l — x — y and the Ε terms are the binary interaction parameters for regular solutions. The high order interactions are ignored here.

Along similar lines as described in the binary system, the equilibria equations for the ternary regular solution system are

In these equations the subscripts j and k represent phases ; and k. The ternary analogue of the binary equihbrium equation (5.87) is

A G ^ ^ ' ' [ X o , y o . n = G%Xo,yo, n-G^lxo.yo, Γ ] (5.97)

Computer programs T E R N A R Y , M I G A P and TERCP were built to solve the equilibria, miscibility gap and compound-solution phases equilibria.

Kaufman and Nesor^ have calculated non-metallic phase diagrams using an approach essentially similar to the above description and in Refs. 5 and 3. The excess free energy of mixing for a binary liquid or a solid solution is given by

- G ^ = X ( 1 - X ) [ / Í : , 2 ( 1 - X ) + / Í : 2 I X ] (5.98)

where ^21 functions of temperature (but not of composition). The free energy of compound phase ψ having composition x^ is defined

by equation (5.99)

G' = (1 - x^)Gl^ -f x^G^ + Χφ{1- Χφ)

χίΚ,2{1-ΧφΗΚ2,Χφ-C{ Γ ) ] (5.99)

where Κ refers to the base phase selected for the compound and C( T) is a temperature dependent function, is the compound parameters. The calculated phase diagrams of M g O - F e 3 0 4 - A l 2 0 3 and the subsidiary binary systems are given in Fig. 5.7.

The calculation of phase diagrams 193

fpi—ypi (p = 2, 3 , . . . , q + i)

The terms represent the excess free energy of mixing. SOLGASMIX-PV program is formed by inserting the relation P V = R T

into the SOLGASMIX program mentioned above. The newly program­ming calculation offers the possibility of calculating equilibria for either constant pressure or constant volume conditions.

An example calculation concerns the species distribution in the system SÍO2-CH4-H2O-O2-CF4 . The initial mole compositions are: Si 0.0006, C 0.0005, 02.02, Η 2.75x10"^ and F 0.0005. Table 5.6 lists the free energy of the species concerned here. The reference states are the stable form of Ar, F2, H2, O2 , C and Si. Equilibrium data at 1500°C and 1 atm calculated by SOLGASMIX-PV are shown in Table 5.7.

Iterative procedures are used to search for the equihbrium composition of phases which minimizes the total free energy of the system.

Activities are inserted into the equations to replace the mole fraction terms for the non-ideal mixtures.

''pi=ypi ( y ^ ) (P = 2. 3 , . . . , q-h 1; i = 1, 2 , . . . , m^)

where y^, is an activity coefficient which can be obtained by mathematical approximation of experimental activity data or by structurally modelled calculation. Then the/^,- in equation (5.119) will be changed into
