Abstract
NOVELO-TORRES, Alma Miriam and GRACIA-FADRIQUE, Jesús. Ternary diagrams paths. Educ. quím [online]. 2010, vol.21, n.4, pp.300-305. ISSN 0187-893X.
Dilution, emulsification, continuous and semi-continuous chemical reactions, assessment of equilibrium diagrams and in general, formulation procedures, require the addition of pure liquids or binary mixtures to other mixtures or pure compounds. These processes follow defined ternary diagrams paths. The path tracking and the corresponding balance material allow the determination of both the composition and the process tendency at each discreet or differential addition of one or more components. The graphical representation justifies the balance material and the position within the equilibrium diagram provides a clear idea of the experimental trajectory, which is an aspect not often addressed in the common literature on equilibrium and process design.
Keywords : Ternary diagrams; ternary systems; ternary mixture; equilibrium diagrams.
