ABSTRACT
The density of salt melts of the GdCl3–NaCl and GdCl3–KCl systems was determined by the dilatometric method over the entire concentration range and a wide temperature range. The molar volumes of the systems and their deviations from additivity are calculated. It is established that all the dependences on the composition of the electrolyte are nonlinear. The results can be used in the production technology of gadolinium and its compounds and to clarify the structure of the investigated molten salt mixtures.
