Abstract: This paper presents the experimental date of metastable phase equilibrium of Na+, K+,Mg+ //Cl-, SO42--H2O quinary system at 15 ℃, from which the metastable phase diagram is drawn.lt con-sists of nine rigions of crystallization saturated with sodium chloride: potassium chloride, thenardite(Na2SO4), glasserite(3K2SO4·Na2SO4), schoenit(K2SO4·MgSO4·6H2O), astrankit(MgSO4·Na2SO4·4H2O), carnallite (KCl· MgCl2· 6H2O), epsomite (MgSO4·7H2O), hexahydrite (MgSO4·6H2O)and bischofit(MgCl2·6H2O).Alarge difference is found between the obtained metastable phase diagramat 15℃ and Van't Hoff's stable phase diagram at 25℃.The crystallization of leonite(K2SO4·MgSO4·4H2O), kainite(KCl·MgSO4·3H2O), magnesium sulfate quinhydrate(MgSO4·5H2O) and starkeyite(MgSO4·4H2O) disapear and the crystallization regions of schoenit greatly increased.Comparing themetastable phase diagram of Na+, K+, Mg2+ //Cl-, SO42- at 15 ℃ with the metastable phase dia-gram at 25℃ and 35℃ by the authors, it is found the crystallization region of schonite (includingleonite) at 25℃ is the largest, and at 35℃ is the smallest with the temperature rising from 15℃ to 35℃, the crystallization regions of glasserite parallelly moved toward KCl region, which made the KCl regiondecreasing and the Na2SO4 region increasing; with the temperature rising from 15℃, 25℃ to 35℃, thesodium containing and water containing decrease consequently.
