Abstract
The phase diagram of CaO-CaCl 2 has been determined. Eutectics at CaO (5 mol%) — CaCl 2 (mp 1020K) and CaO (21 mol%) — CaCl 2 (mp 1102K) were found. The congruently melting compound, CaO.4CaCl 2, was supported by X-ray diffraction evidence. The maximum solubility of calcium oxide in calcium chloride at temperatures relevant to the reduction of PuO 2 is about 21 mol% CaO. The ternary liquidus diagram of the CaO-CaCl 2-KCl system has been determined and it was found only a relatively small area of the system is completely molten below 1080K. A maximum solubility of 10 mol% CaO was found in KCl-CaCl 2 at process temperatures. This is in disagreement with published data.
