ABSTRACT

The equilibrium electrode potentials of aluminum in a molten mixture of aluminum and potassium chlorides have been measured as a function of temperature in the KCl–AlCl₃–ZrCl₄ system, which makes it possible to recommend metallic aluminum as an effective protector for the protection of equipment materials of a zirconium and hafnium chloride separation unit (URHTSG) from frontal corrosion.
