Lithium Chloride-Potassium Chloride Applications
Lithium Chloride-Potassium Chloride Eutectic is the most commonly used electrolyte in electrorefining dry reprocessing. It possesses lots of preferable characteristics such as good thermal stability, a wide span of electrolytic decomposition potential, absence of strongly acidic or basic properties, high conductivity, and fluidity. Further, the melting point is low enough and its chemical reactivity is such that Pyrex glass can be utilized as a material of construction. Lithium Potassium Chloride is also used in separators for mixed transition-metal oxide cathodes in thermal batteries.
