Fused salt systems physical properties

In 1963 Dr. Danbk joined the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava, of which he was the director in the period 1991-1995. His main field of interest was the physical chemistry of molten salts systems in particular the study of the relations between the composition, properties, and structure of inorganic melts. He developed a method to measure the electrical conductivity of molten fluorides. He proposed the thermodynamic model of silicate melts and applied it to a number of two- and three-component silicate systems. He also developed the dissociation model of molten salts mixtures and applied it to different types of inorganic systems. More recently his work was in the field of chemical synthesis of double oxides from fused salts and the investigation of the physicochemical properties of molten systems of interest as electrolytes for the electrochemical deposition of metals from natural minerals, molybdenum, the synthesis of transition metal borides, and for aluminium production. 

The first chapter in the second volume of this series deals with the physical properties of a novel group of melts, the organic molten salts as applied to the testing of models of molten salt behavior. In addition, there are three chapters on the chemistry of solute species in melts. One of these chapters deals with solubilities of reactive gases in melts. Another chapter treats coordination chemistry and electronic spectroscopy of Group VIII elements in fused salts. The last chapter is concerned with recent developments in electroanalytical chemistry in molten salt systems.
