Abstract

The transport properties of several alkali fluoride high temperature ionic liquids(LiF, NaF, KF, RbF and CsF) were studied in a range of 980―1400 K and the temperature dependences of the viscosity and density were interpreted, in agreement with the classical equations characterizing the viscous flow(Arrhenius, Batchinski, Eyring and Frenkel). The experimental results reveal the validity of these equations even at high temperatures, suggesting that no significant structural changes of alkali fluorides occurred in the studied temperature range. Our results clearly demonstrate that the mentioned thermo-physical properties can be used as powerful tools in the further investigations of the ionic interactions governing the alkali fluoride molten salts.
