Abstract:Electrorefining experiments with a crucial anode containing U, elemental rare earths; Gd, Nd and Ce or Nd 2 O 3 were carried out in KCl-LiCl eutectic melt at 500 C. Partitioning behavior of the components according to the applied voltage or current was investigated at various initial U concentrations in a molten salt. Elemental REs concentrations in the cathode deposits increased as the applied voltage decreased at a low initial UCl 3 concentration, while they were maintained at a very low level at a higher co… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
