چکیده مقاله:

Zirconium Diboride (ZrB2) powder was synthesized at low temperature via a Direct Molten Salt Reaction (DMSR) method. The influence of different salt compositions including eutectic mixture of (KF-NaF), (KF-KCl) and (KCl-NaCl) on the morphology and purity of the reaction products was studied. The obtained samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, the formation mechanism of ZrB2 was investigated by DTA/TG. The results show that alongside eutectic mixture of chloride salt, ZrB2 powder can be obtained with eutectic mixture of fluoride salt. In addition, obtained ZrB2 powder without additional salt has hexagonal prism morphology, whereas ZrB2 particles prepared with eutectic mixture of fluoride salt have higher purity and particle size and hexagonal morphology as well. Synthesized ZrB2 Powder in chlorofluoride salt has lower particle size and purity and non-uniform morphology. Synthesized ZrB2 powder is different from starting material in term of morphology and particle size therefore the dissolution–precipitation mechanism may play a dominant role on the synthesis of ZrB2 during DMSR process.

EFFECT OF ZrO2 PARTICLE SIZE ON MORPHOLOGY and SYNTHESIS OF NANO CaZrO3Via MOLTEN SALT METHOD

Well crystallized pure calcium zirconate (CaZrO3 ) nanopowder was successfully synthesized using the molten-salt method. CaCl2 , Na 2CO3, micro-ZrO 2and nano-ZrO 2 were used as starting materials. On heating, Na2CO3 reacted with CaCl 2to form NaCl and CaCO 3. Nano CaZrO 3 was formed by reacting equimolar amounts of in situformed CaCO 3 (or CaO) and ZrO 2 in molten Na 2CO3-NaCl e...

The Molten Salt Reactor Adventure

A personal history of the development of molten-salt reactors in the United States is presented. The initial goal was an aircraft propulsion reactor, and a molten fluoride-fueled Aircraft Reactor Experiment was operated at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1954. In 1956, the objective shifted to civilian nuclear power, and reactor concepts were developed using a circulating UF4-ThF4 fuel, graphi...
