IUPAC-NIST Solubility Data Series. 87. Rare Earth Metal Chlorides in Water and Aqueous Systems. Part 1. Scandium Group (Sc, Y, La)

This volume presents solubility data for rare earth metal chlorides in water and in ternary and quaternary aqueous systems. The material is divided into three parts: scandium group (Sc, Y, La), light lanthanide (Ce-Eu), and heavy lanthanide (Gd-Lu) chlorides; this part covers the scandium group. Compilations of all available experimental data are introduced for each rare earth metal chloride with a corresponding critical evaluation. Every such evaluation contains a tabulated collection of all solubility results in water, a scheme of the water-rich part of the equilibrium (Y, La, Ln)Cl3–H2O phase diagram, solubility equation(s), a selection of suggested solubility data, and a discussion of the multicomponent systems. Because the ternary and quaternary systems were almost never studied more than once, no critical evaluations or systematic comparisons of such data were possible. Only simple chlorides (no complexes) are treated as the input substances in this work. The literature (including a thorough coverage of papers in Chinese and Russian) has been covered through the middle of 2007.
