| Abstract Scope |
Fluoroacidity, a measure of the activity of free fluoride ions in an ionic liquid, affects the physico-chemical properties of a molten fluoride mixture which are crucial for fundamental understanding and control of these systems. The effect of fluoroacidity on solute ion coordinancy can be seen in changes in properties such as viscosity and the diffusion coefficients of solutes. With such a relevance to the salt’s properties and with the ability to serve as a metric to generalize differences among various fluoride salts, fluoroacidity is an important metric for the study of fluoride salt systems. Since fluoroacidity is a result of the equilibrium established within a salt melt, multiple methods, both electrochemical and thermodynamic, have been employed to measure the fluoroacidity of various salt mixtures. This presentation will include an analysis of opportune applications of this metric and a review of existing methods used to measure relative fluoroacidity. |
