Abstract

Molten salts are non-aqueous solvents which are divided into high temperature molten salts,low temperature molten salts and room temperature molten salts. Due to their unique physical and chemical properties,they are used as the reaction and electrolytic media to electrodeposit the active metal coatings that can not be obtained in aqueous solution. In recent years,the research hot spot in the field of molten electrochemistry is that it is applicable in non-aqueous reprocessing by substituting caustic molten salts for electro-deposition and separation of actinide metal ions. This article reviews the properties of actinide elements in electrochemistry,thermodynamics and physics in high temperature molten salt. The recent research progress of room temperature ionic liquids and the latest extraction advancement of actinide elements in room temperature ionic liquids are introduced. The future research trend in molten system is also given.
