- Abstract
- Molten alkali metal chlorides used in pyrotechnologies are aggressive corrosive agents. The high operating temperature of the process, the heterogeneity of the environment, and the significant corrosion activity of the molten salt necessitate both the search for stable structural materials and the development of methods for protecting the structural elements of high-temperature technological devices. Corrosion loss reduction techniques traditionally used in low temperature environments are not applicable at high temperatures. The article examines the influence of oxygen-containing impurities (lithium oxide and hydroxide) on the corrosion behavior of metallic nickel (grade NP1) – the main component of candidate structural alloys, a thermodynamically and structurally stable material in the melt for the process of electrolytic refining of spent nuclear fuel. A method for preparing the LiCl–KCl salt electrolyte and obtaining lithium oxide by thermal decomposition of anhydrous lithium hydroxide under vacuum is described, and the concentrations of impurities in the electrolyte and the synthesized lithium oxide are determined. An installation for conducting corrosion tests in an inert atmosphere of a glove box is presented. To assess the corrosion resistance of the material, the following were used: gravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis of the surface and cross-sectional sections, and X-ray diffraction analysis of the surface of the samples. The dependences of the corrosion rate of the material on the concentration of oxygen-containing additives Li2O and LiOH were obtained. Based on a combination of gravimetric, X-ray microspectral and X-ray phase analysis data, it was established that metallic nickel samples demonstrate high corrosion resistance in the studied melts with the introduction of Li2O and LiOH additives.
