Temperatures for the primary crystallization of Na3AlF6 in multicomponent electrolyte systems of interest for the aluminum electrolysis process were determined by thermal analysis. The molar ratio of NaF/AlF3 ranged from 2.0 to 3.0. The melts contained up to 9 % NaCl (by mass). An empirical equation describing liquidus temperatures for the primary crystallization of Na3AlF6 was derived: t/°C = 978.142 − 4.078w(AlF3) −13.341w(NaCl) + 0.619w(AlF3)2 + 1.210w(NaCl)2 + 1.052w(AlF3)w(NaCl) − 0.034w(AlF3)3 − 0.050w(NaCl)3 − 0.040w(AlF3)w(NaCl)2 − 0.070w(AlF3)2w(NaCl), where w(AlF3) denotes the mass fraction of excess aluminum fluoride with respect to cryolite and w(NaCl) denotes the mass fraction of sodium chloride.
