Study on preparation and application of NaCl-KCl-CsCl-Cs₂ZrCl₆ composite electrolyte

Abstract Preparing zirconium chloride composite salts such as Cs 2 ZrCl 6 can replace highly volatile 4 for studying molten salt electrolytic refining zirconium. The NaCl-KCl-CsCl-Cs electrolyte was prepared using ternary with a molar ratio of NaCl: KCl: CsCl=30: 24.5: 45.5 and raw materials. According to thermodynamic analysis, preferentially reacts CsCl form strong stability. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the main phase product . ICP-DSC conversion rate reached 99.68%. To verify properties this electrolyte, it is applied sponge Studies have shown system obtains dendrite products maximum grain size 6.29mm, more application prospects.
