Abstract

This chapter discusses the complex physico-chemical analysis of the structure of the electrolytes. In the investigation of the structure of the electrolytes, the “chemical approach” is used. The structure of the electrolytes from the concentration dependencies of the particular properties used is thermodynamic, statistical approaches, and material balance calculation. The basic condition for the effective control of electrochemical technology is the knowledge of the structure and properties of the given electrolyte and mechanisms of the electrochemical processes involved. The main components defining the physico-chemical properties of an industrial electrolyte in some cases are cryolite, Na3AlF6, aluminum fluoride, and aluminum oxide. The investigated electrolytes represent multi-component systems of inorganic salts and oxides or oxygen-containing compounds, in which the chemical reactions take place. The chemical equilibrium in the melt depends on the composition and temperature. Influence of composition plays the most important role, while the change in temperature does not affect the equilibrium.
