| Abstract Scope |
Process monitoring of molten salts used in nuclear and solar energy applications requires accurate quantitative measurements of a variety of salt properties. Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have developed a multifunctional sensor capable of simultaneous measurements of several key properties including salt species concentrations (including metal ion corrosion products and salt impurities), salt redox potential, and salt level. The sensor consists of an array of electrodes immersed in the salt, upon which electroanalytical measurements may be performed. These sensors have been used in flow loops and large-scale vessels for durations lasting beyond a year, providing crucial corrosion and chemical processing information. |
