Ternary Mixtures of Hard Spheres and Their Multiple Separated Phases.

ABSTRACT: We study the liquid phase behavior of ternary mixtures of monodisperse hard spheres in solution. The interactions are modeled in terms of the second virial coefficient and can be additive hard sphere (HS) or non-additive hard sphere (NAHS) interactions. We give the set of equations that defines the phase diagram for mixtures of three components. We calculate the theoretical liquid-liquid phase separation boundary for two-phase separation (the binodal) and, if applicable, the three-phase boundary, as well as the plait points and the spinodal. The sizes of the three components are fixed. The first component (A) is the smallest one, the second component (B) is four times the size of the smallest component, and the third (C) component is three times the size of the smallest one.
