Ternary diagrams, sample

Figure 2 illustrates a sample ternary diagram. The following factors are significant in using this solvent formulating tool ... 

The ternary diagram in Figure 4 shows the composition of crude oil samples based on the content of normal plus isoalkenes (parafliins), cycloalkenes (naphtenes), and aromatic hydrocarbons plus polar, heteroatomic compounds (NSO).

Ternary diagrams (Sc-Th-Zr/10 and Th-La-Sc) show that the majority of the samples plot in or near the continental...

From the data plotted on the ternary diagram, it can be seen that none of the samples analyzed were deficient in SiOg that is, none contained an excess of both CaO and CuO. Instead, the majority contained moderate excesses of SiO (10-30%) together with small excesses of either CaO (1-6%) or CuO (1-8%). Which of these latter components is in excess depends to some extent on the provenance of the samples. For example, the Egyptian (including Amama) and Roman material are mainly characterized by excess CaO, whereas for the samples from Nimrud, excess CuO occurs more frequently. The material from Nineveh contains an excess of either CaO or CuO. 

Fig. 6-9 Ternary diagram showing proportions of dissolved Si(OH)4, carbonate alkalinity (HCOj + CO3"), and (Q + S04 ) in the Orinoco River and Amazon River basins. Charged species are in equivalents Si(OH)4 is in mole units. The curves in the larger figure are numbered in total cation concentration (mEq/L). Unlike previous figures, symbols represent the total cation concentration interval that includes the sample s concentration. The predominant symbol within each interval corresponds to samples whose concentrations plot within that interval. In the smaller figure, the patterned areas correspond to the predominant source of samples whose concentrations plot within the areas (A) streams that drain cratonic areas (B) streams that originate in mountain belts, but that drain large areas of cratons (C) streams that drain mountain belts with extensive black shales (D) streams that drain mountain belts with extensive carbonate rocks and evaporite deposits.

FIGURE 15.6 Schematic of the titration method used to construct the ternary diagram with the tie line [dash (hlue in the web version)]. Each side represents the respective element composition in weight fractions, which was increased from 0 to 1 w/w. For example, for a water titration the samples were synthesized by following the direction [arrows (red arrows in the web version)] of low weight fraction of water to high. 

In practice, for a ternary system, the decomposition voltage of the solid electrolyte may be readily measured with the help of a galvanic cell which makes use of the solid electrolyte under investigation and the adjacent equilibrium phase in the phase diagram as an electrode. A convenient technique is the formation of these phases electrochemically by decomposition of the electrolyte. The sample is polarized between a reversible electrode and an inert electrode such as Pt or Mo in the case of a lithium ion conductor, in the same direction as in polarization experiments. The...
