Abstract
A Raman spectroscopic study of aqueous solutions of Li2SO4, LiNaSO4 and LiKSO4 as function of concentration and temperature has been performed. From a band profile analysis of the internal modes of the sulphate ion, the spectroscopic association constant has been calculated at different temperatures. It has been also possible to measure the diffusivity coefficients for Li2SO4 in bulk solutions and in gels, using Raman spectroscopy. These data are used in the interpretation of the crystallization behaviour of Li salts from aqueous solutions and gels.
