ELECTRODE POTENTIALS IN MOLTEN LITHIUM CHLORIDE-POTASSIUM CHLORIDE EUTECTIC. BEHAVIOR OF HALOGEN, IRON AND VANADIUM ELECTRODES. (thesis). Technical Report No. 5
An investigation was made of electrochemistry in molten potassiums chloride-lithium chloride entectic. This entectic is composed of 41 mole % potassium chloride and 59 mole % ltthium chloride. It melts at 352 deg C. I~ addition tn the comparatively low melting point, other advantages of this solvent are nentral acidity, low specific resistance, low viscosity, and broad span of electrolytic decomposition potential. The components are commercially available as reagent grade salts and Pyrex glass can be used as a material of construction. The disadvantsge of this solvent is the hygroscopic nature of lithium chloride. Fundamental to electrochemical investigations is the establishment of electrode potentials. The electrodes studied in this research were the halogen, halide ion electrodes, and iron and vanadium electrodes. (auth)
