Solubility of Potassium Hydroxide and Potassium Phosphate in Supercritical Water
The solubilities of potassium hydroxide and dibasic potassium phosphate in supercritical water solutions have been measured at temperatures from 400 to 525 degrees C and pressures from 22.1 to 32.0 MPa. The solubility of potassium hydroxide varied from 61 mg/kg at 525 degrees C and 22.1 MPa to 594 mg/kg at 450 degrees C and 30.4 MPa. The solubility of dibasic potassium phosphate varied from 2 mg/kg at 450 degrees C and 26.8 MPa to 416 mg/kg at 400 degrees C and 27.1 MPa. The solubility was found to vary directly with pressure and inversely with temperature. Results were fit to a semiempirical solvation model to yield predictive equations for solubility as a function of water density.
