data, as well as a summary of literature data on solutions of solids in cryo- genic liquids, are presented and compared with solubilities calculated by as- suming regular solutions. Experimental and calculated values for the solubili- ties of carbon tetrafluoride, perfluorethane, and perchloryl fluoride in liquid fluorine show close agreement, while the solubilities of krypton and xenon in fluorine show considerable deviation from calculated values. Little of the literature data agrees with the calculated solubilities. Deviations from cal- culated values are discussed.

INTRODUCTION

Only a limited amount of past work has been concerned with the prediction of the solubilities of solids in cryogenic liquids. Information on solutions in liquid fluorine is essentially nonexistent, and in the case of carbon tetra- fluoride the solubility data that are available (ref. 1) appear to be in con- siderable error. This lack of information, together with the importance of cryogenic liquids in space applications and the possible use of fluorine as a rocket propellant, prompted the present investigation. It was the intent of this investigation to determine the solubilities of several substances in liquid fluorine and to consider the pxsibility of predicting solubilities in cryogenic liquids in general.

Solubilities of the following substances in liquid fluorine were deter- mined: carbon tetrafluoride (CFq), perfluorethane (CZF~), krypton (=), xenon (Xe), perchloryl fluoride (ClO3F), nitryl fluoride (NOzF), silicon tetrafluo- ride (SiF ), boron trifluoride (EFs), tetrafluoroethylene polymer, cobalt tri- fluoride tCoF3) , and aluminum trifluoride (AlF3). for their physical and chemical properties. In addition, the liquid-liquid systems nitrogen-fluorine (Nz-Fz) and nitrogen trifluoride - fluorine (NF3-F2) were investigated. All solutions were studied in the temperature range 68O to 83' K by vapor-pressure measurements.

Tiiese substances were chosen

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE

All solute materials were obtained commercially except NOzF, which was prepared by reacting fluorine with nitrogen dioxide (ref. 4). The gaseous so l - utes with purities less than 99.9 percent were further purified by bulb-to-bulb distillation, while the solid solutes were used as obtained. Purity of these gases was checked by means of mass spectrometer and infrared analyses. Fluo- rine of 98.0-percent purity was obtained from a low-pressure cylinder and was further purified by bulb-to-bulb distillation at pressures not exceeding 1/2 atmosphere. Analysis of the fluorine was by reaction with cold mercury (ref. 5) and by use of fnfrared spectra. Vapor-pressure measurements of the purified fluorine (at least 99.9-percent purity) agreed with previously re- ported data (ref. 6).

The gases were all handled in a glass vacuum system that had been condi- tioned with fluorine at 1-atmosphere pressure for at least 20 hours. fluorocarbon grease was used on all stopcocks. A soda lime scrubber was used for disposal of the fluorine.

the temperature of satu- ration for a particular concentration. This method is illustrated in figure 3 for solutions of CF4 and krypton in fluo- rine. The minimum point in the saturated-solution curve for CF4 indicates the solid-solid transi- tion of CF4 at 76.09O K (ref. 8).

In method 3 solubil- ities were calculated directly from Raoult's law by the use of vapor- pressure-lowering meas- urements. This method was used only where sol- ubilities were small. Before Raoult's law was used to determine solu-

of the law. Applicability was shown by determining the vapor-pressure depression for unsaturated solu- tions at known concentrations that were near those of the saturated solutions.

The major factor in the experimental error for methods 1 and 2 was the accuracy with which the mole fraction of solute could be determined (-I-0.5 per- cent at higher concentrations to 51.3 percent at lower concentrations of sol- ute), while for method 3 the major factor was the accuracy of the Ap measure- ments (50.1 mm Hg).

RESULTS A N 3 DISCUSSION

For an ideal system the solubility of a solid in a liquid at tempera- ture T may be calculated from (refs. 2 and 3)

into account the change in the heats of fusion and transi- tion with temperature. The terms involving transition temperature Tt are used only for solutes with a solid-solid transition at a temperature greater

Since few systems behave ideally, equation (1) cannot be expected to give good predictions of solubilities. may be obtained if the regular solution concept is taken into consideration. Hildebrand (refs. 2 and 3) has presented for regular solutions an equation that takes into account the heat of mixing of solute and solvent:

More realistic predictions of solubilities

According to Hildebrand, the volume fraction cp may be expressed as

Since

then

Thus, equation (2) becomes

The solub'lity parameters 6j are defined in references 2 and 3 as 6. = ( -Ej/Vj)lf2. For low pressures -E may be replaced by the energy of vaporization AE, which may in turn be replaced by AHv - RT. Thus,

Solubilities of CF4, C2F6, and C103F generally agree with values calcu- lated from equation ( 3 ) , although disagreement is noted for krypton and xenon

temperature in figure 5, as are the calculated results. The disagreement of krypton and xenon is unexpected and cannot be immediately explained. A com- parison of the NOZF solubility with calculated values is difficult because of the lack of a value for the heat of fusion. A heat of fusion of 700 cal- ories per mole was estimated for NOZF, however, from the relation of the heat of fusion to the melting point for several substances. With this value good agreement was obtained between calculated and experimental solubilities.

Powdered tetrafluoroethylene polymer, SiF4, BF3, COF~, and A1F3 are all less soluble than can be determined by the experimental apparatus. These low solubilities agree with the calculations based on equation (3).

In the course of this investigation two liquid-liquid systems were stud- ied. The NF3-Fz system is nearly ideal throughout the entire composition range of 0 to 100 percent NF3 as determined by vapor-pressure measurements between 68' and 78' K. The nitrogen-fluorine system is completely miscible at 77.5' K. The results are as expected for these systems since the differences in 6 val- ues are small ( 6 ~ ~ -

Literature data on cryogenic solutions of solids in liquids are summarized in table I1 and are compared with values calculated from equation (3). The dif- ferences in 6 values and in molar volumes at 80' K, as well as the difference in van der Waal's constant b, are presented for comparison. Melting-point data, where available, and freezing-point (solubility) data are given for cases in which solid solutions are formed.
