✦ Synopsis
The literature contains no reliable values for the entropy of molten sodium polysulphides. Na,S, (3 < x < 5). In this paper we show how these values can be derived from a knowledge of the activity of sulphur in equilibrium with each polysulphide, as a function of temperature.
The necessary information can be deduced from measured values of the em!, E, of the sodium-sulphur cell, and its temperature coefficient, (aE/dT), The entropy values obtained at 600K are: Na,S,,, (in equilibrium with pure liquid sulphur), 446JK-'mol-'; Na,S,, 434JK-'mol-'; Na,S,, 372JK-'mol-'; Na,S,. 308 J K-' mol-'.

Ahstraet-The sulphur activity has been measured at 400°C as a function of sulphur mole fraction in a series of molten polysulphides containing lithium and sodium in different proportions. The measurements provide confirmation of the positions of the phase boundaries in the (Li/Na/S) system, and also
## Abstract The effect of mixing and mass transfer on polysulphide generation by catalytic oxidation of sodium sulphide was studied using two batch‐operated reactors. One was a sparged reactor operated at atmospheric pressure and low mixing intensities (0.37 to 28 W/kg), the other was an unsparged
