Alkali metal chloride melts

If aluminum chloride is added to an alkali metal chloride melt, an alkali metal tetrachloroaluminate forms ... 

Thus, the first step of the construction is to determine the oxobasicity indices of the alkali-metal chloride melts. Then the similar magnitudes for the melts having the same cation but different anion compositions were estimated as the differences of pK of carbonate ion dissociation. For example, in molten NaBr the estimation was performed according to the following formula ... 

Zirconium(ii) and Hafnium(ii).—Studies of the diffusion coefficients of Zr dissolved in fused alkali-metal chloride melts have led to the suggestion that [ZrCl4] ions are formed. ZrAlClj has been isolated as a pure brown powder following the disproportionation of ZrClj in AICI3. 

INTRODUCTION OF RARE METAL SALT Anhydrous rare metal chlorides are usually hygroscopic and therefore difficult to introduce into a melt without producing deleterious oxychlorides as a result of hydrolysis in moist air. This has been overcome for some metal chlorides by producing them in situ in the melt. A suspension of the rare metal oxide in the inert alkali metal chloride melt is chlorinated directly at a suitable temperature, in the presence of a reducing agent such... 

ELECTROLYSIS OF BERYLLIUM CHLORIDE A process has been available since about 1936 for the electrolysis of beryllium chloride in an alkali metal chloride melt at relatively low tem-peratures. A eutectic mixture of lithium, potassium and sodium chlorides in the proportions 40-4, 53-2 and 6-4 per cent is employed.
