Electrical conductivity of KAlCl4–ZrCl4 molten mixtures

Аннотация

The electrical conductivity of commercially challenging KAlCl₄–ZrCl₄ molten mixtures has been studied as a function of temperature (in the range from 345°C to 500°C) and the ZrCl₄ concentration (0‒32.5mol %) using cells of a unique design. It is found to vary in the range from 0.41 to 0.80 S cm^–1, increasing with temperature or when the mole concentration of zirconium tetrachloride in molten mixtures decreases.
