ABSTRACT:

The fusibility of salt compositions was studied. The phase diagram in the GdCl₃–NaCl–KCl system  was presented. The values of density for salt melts of the GdCl₃–NaCl–KCl system in a wide range of temperatures and concentrations were determined. The values of molar volumes were calculated, and concentration dependence of their isotherms at the melts triangle was established.
