Abstract Scope |
The LiF-ZrF4 system has been revisited and incorporated into the Molten Salt Thermodynamic Database (MSTDB). This study reviewed the structural information and phase equilibria of the LiF-ZrF4 system by checking the consistency of previous thermodynamic models with experimental data and supplemented with calculations using density-functional theory (DFT). This improves the system model using the modified quasi-chemical model (MQM) to simulate the salt’s molten state. The model is compared to results from density-functional theory and experimental observations of the LiF-ZrF4 system. |
