Abstract

By using the CALPHAD technique, an assessment of the binary PrCl3-CaCl2 and NdCl3-CaCl2 systems have been carried out. From measured phase equilibrium data and experimental integral properties, the PrCl3-CaCl2 and NdCl3-CaCl2 phase diagrams were optimized and calculated. A set of thermodynamic functions has been optimized based on an interactive computer-assisted analysis. The calculated results by present method agree well with the experimental data.
