Gas Solubility in Molten Salts

  • Chapter

Abstract

Interest in the solubilities of nonreactive gases in molten salts stemmed originally from the technological need developed as a consequence of gaseous fission products of radiated molten salts. A secondary technological development associated with industrial uses of molten salts as heat treatment baths, electrolytes, and metallurgical slags led to other studies of the influence of various gases and vapors on the physical and chemical properties of the fused salts. Systematic research of gaseous solutions of molten salts has lagged behind technological studies and lies considerably more dormant than analogous studies in water and organic solvents. Theoretical studies of the liquid state and solution theory, on the other hand, have been pursued which provide applications to ionic liquid solvents such as the simpler molten salts.
