Corrosion Experiments on Ceramic Samples Within Molten Salts

Abstract

The molten salts can provide many possibilities for their use, e.g., an electrolyte in fuel cells or as a heat transfer medium and an oxygen transporter for flameless oxidation in molten salt oxidation (MSO) technology. The environment of molten salts is very corrosive; therefore, it is crucial to find such ceramic materials, which could be used as reactor filling for MSO technology. The aim of this work was to research physical properties of ceramic samples after the exposure within the eutectic mixture of Na2CO3, K2CO3, Li2CO3 and temperature of 700 °C.
