Abstract
Electrochemical investigations in equimolar NaNO 3—KNO 3 melt and in NaNO 3 and KNO 3 melt were carried out separately on platinum surfaces at 300 and 340°C, respectively. A well defined cathodic peak and two anodic peaks related, respectively, to nitrate ion reduction and oxidation of alkali metal oxides were observed in mixed melts. Studies carried out in separate nitrate melt confirmed the respective alkali metal oxides formation. Evidence for the water reduction wave and the effect of moisture content on the solubility of alkali metal oxide has been elaborated.
