CATION EXCHANGE WITH MOLTEN SALTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4659329
The applicability of cation exchange between synthetic zeolites, such as Linde Molecular Sieve 4A, and molten salts, such as monovalent nitrates, was studied. It was found that sodium and silver nitrate were occluded in the cavities of the zeolite framework, wfth approximately nine to ten molecules occuluded per unit cell of the zeolite. No occlusion was found with the larger thallium (I) ions. The exchange of silver and thallium for sodium from mixed nitrate melts was measured. The zeolite shows a preference for the former two ions over sodium ions. With thallium, no complete exchange could be obtained from nitrate melts. (auth)
