An In Situ, multi-electrode electrochemical method to assess the open circuit potential corrosion of Cr in unpurified molten FLiNaK
Source abstract
Abstract
An in situ electrochemical method to investigate the time-dependent spontaneous corrosion of pure Cr in an unpurified LiF-NaF-KF eutectic salt at 600 °C was developed. A multi-electrode electrochemical cell and a dual-electrode method were utilized to detect Cr(II) and Cr(III) ions on a platinum working electrode using cyclic voltammetry as a function of exposure time and compensating for the distance from the Cr electrode. XRD was performed to characterize the crystalline composition of the exposed FLiNaK and the salt films formed on the working electrodes. The fate of all electro-oxidized Cr must be accounted for to quantify corrosion rates. The concentrations of Cr(II) and Cr(III) species obtained were compared with the gravimetric mass change and ICP-OES analysis of the residual salt. Outcomes, difficulties, and limitations are discussed.
