Phase diagram of the system KF-K2TaF7-Ta2O5

The phase diagrams of the binary system Ta2O5-K2TaF7 and the ternary system KF-Ta2O5-K2TaF7 were determined using the thermal analysis method. The system Ta2O5-K2TaF7 was measured up to 25 mol% of Ta2O5. Eutectic point is estimated to be at \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ x_{Ta_2 O_5 } $$\end{document}=0.14 and t=601°C. Crystallization of K2TaF7, K2Ta2O3F6 and a new phase was identified. The new phase shows isomorphism with K3Nb2F11O. In the ternary system four nonvariant equilibria points at 3 mol% of Ta2O5, 72 mol% of KF and 25 mol% of K2TaF7 at 715(1)°C; 6 mol% of Ta2O5, 44 mol% of KF and 50 mol% of K2TaF7 at 603(2)°C; 1 mol% of Ta2O5, 22 mol% of KF and 77 mol% of K2TaF7 at 704(1)°C and 8 mol% of Ta2O5, 8 mol% of KF and 84 mol% of K2TaF7 at 580(1)°C were proposed. Crystallization fields of KF, K2TaF7, K3TaF8, K3TaOF6, K4Ta2OF12 and K2Ta2O3F6 were considered.
