Abstract

Phase diagrams have been drawn in several pseudophase triangles for the system: water, n-pentanol, decane and betaine. The pseudophase compositions have been, a priori, calculated within the frame of our model (J. Biais et al., J. Dispersion Sci. Technol. 2, 67, 1981). In these triangles the phase diagrams exhibit the same general features as ideal Winsor’s ones. The W’, O’, M’ pseudophases appear to act as pseudocomponents. Winsor I, II and III phase behaviours are encountered.
