Abstract
Behavior of molybdenum was studied in individual fused alkali chlorides and their mixtures employing electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques. Formal standard electrode potentials of molybdenum and thermodynamics of molybdenum chloride were obtained in molten LiCl, NaCl, KCl, RbCl, CsCl at 1123 K, NaCl-CsCl eutectic at 793-1023 K, NaCl-KCl equimolar mixture at 973-1123 K, LiCl-KCl-CsCl eutectic at 633-1173 K. Diffusion coefficients of molybdenum ions were determined in LiCl-KCl-CsCl eutectic melt. Electronic absorption spectra of Mo(III) ions were measured in individual salts and their mixtures and spectroscopic parameters of MoCl6 3- complex ions determined.
