| Abstract Scope |
Most of the reactive metals may be separated by a high temperature operation in their solid chloride salt form. The efficiencies of the separation depend on the vapour pressures of the corresponding salts with alkali chlorides. It may be beneficial to explore the possibility of performing the separation at lower temperatures in a liquid salt formed by mixing two alkali chloride salts of the refractory metals. In this work thermodynamic calculations using the FFG (Flood, Forland, Grjotheim) molten salt cycles are presented pertaining to the separation of refractory metals using liquid mixtures of alkali chlorides. |
