ABSTRACT:

In the cells of the original design, the specific electrical conductivity of promising industrial KAlCl4–ZrCl4 molten mixtures depending on the composition (0–32.5 mol % ZrCl4) and temperature (345–556°С) was measured for the first time. The conductivity is found to be rising with the increasing temperature and the decreasing zirconium tetrachloride content in salt mixtures. The refined equations of the temperature and concentration dependences of the melts electrical conductivity are derived taking into account the results of our previous studies.
