Chemistry and Electrochemistry in Aluminum Chloride Molten Salt Systems

Molten-salt Reactor Chemistry

This document summarizes the large program of chemical research and development which led to selection of fuel and coolant compositions for the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) and for subsequent reactors of this type. Chemical behavior of the LiF-BeFrZrFrUF4 fuel mixture and behavior of fission products during power operation of MSRE are presented. A discussion of the chemical reactions w...

Molten Triazolium Chloride Systems as New Aluminum Battery Electrolytes

The possibility of using molten mixtures of 1,4-dimethyl-l,2,4-triazolium chloride (DMTC) and aluminum chloride (A1C13) as secondary battery electrolytes was studied, in some cases extended by the copresence of sodium chloride. DMTC-A1CI~ mixtures demonstrated high specific conductivity in a wide temperature range. The equimolar system is most conductive and has K values between 4.02 x 10 -~ an...

EFFECT OF A CHLORIDE FLUX ON THE DISSOLUTION OF Mn-Al COMPACTS IN MOLTEN ALUMINUM

Abstract: Dissolution and recovery of Mn-Al compacts with and without a chloride flux was studied by taking samples from the melt after addition of the compact. Events occurring after the addition of the compacts into the melt were studied using water quenched specimens after holding them for a specified time in molten state. The cross sections of these specimens were characterized by SEM a...
