An accelerator-driven transmutation system for long-lived nuclides of MA and FP was studied. The system with fluid targets may establish a continuous transmutation system having on-line separation facilities for the elements transmuted by spallation and fission reactions. To realize the effective incineration system MA is designed to be transmuted mainly through fission reactions by fast neutro...

Longitudinal as well as transverse dynamics of a molten salt beyond the hydrodynamic region is studied within the generalized collective modes (GCM) approach. An analytical three-variable model is applied to the treatment of the coupled longand short-time charge fluctuations. Dispersion laws of propagating kinetic collective excitations such as optic phonon-like modes, heat and shear waves are ...

Our R & D work was focused on the electro deposition of Zinc from imidazole as low temperature molten salt (LTMS) electrolyte with zinc chloride as a supporting salt at <100o C., without required controls from the previous existing non aqueous baths as well additive free system for the zinc deposition. Surface morphological studies and crystallographic orientation results were evaluated.

To store thermal energy, sensible and latent heat storage materials are widely used. Latent heat thermal energy storage (TES) systems using phase change materials (PCM) are useful because of their ability to charge and discharge a large amount of heat from a small mass at constant temperature during a phase transformation. Because high-melting-point PCMs have large energy densities, their use c...

Molten salt CO 2 capture and electrochemical transformation (MSCC-ET) has been proposed as a sustainable synthetic method for Mn nanocrystalline inclusions in graphitic matrix, which paves the way to new methods produce composite materials.

We calculated the inherent structure of a model melt of zinc ~II! bromide over a wide range of densities. Stable, metastable, and unstable branches were obtained for the zero temperature pressure–volume isotherm of the inherent structure. The pressure–volume isotherm, the void distribution, and the structure factor were used to identify the spinodal, independent of any model equation of state. ...

Metals cannot be extracted by electrolysis of transition-metal sulfides because as liquids they are semiconductors, which exhibit high levels of electronic conduction and metal dissolution. Herein by introduction of a distinct secondary electrolyte, we reveal a high-throughput electro-desulfurization process that directly converts semiconducting molten stibnite (Sb2S3) into pure (99.9%) liquid ...
