Pyrochemical process for electrochemically base metals in molten halides combined countercurrent electromigration and electrowinning methods

XAFS analyses of molten metal fluorides

“…At the moment, there is no concept using only molten fluorides from the beginning to the end of nuclear treatment processes, but its specific feature of completely different ordering of redox potential referring to that of molten chloride would evolve innovative concept. The processes by adding certain amounts of fluorides into molten chlorides have been examined to be applying to electrochemical treatment of spent nuclear fuels [2].…”

Study on a recovery of rare earth oxides from a LiCl–KCl–RECl3 system

“…The pyrochemical process has many advantages such as compactness, economy, radiation resistance, nonproliferation and less secondary wastes when compared to the existing commercial process [1,2]. This process is to electrochemically partition the fission products from spent nuclear fuels in a molten salt bath [3][4][5].…”

Distillation and condensation of LiCl–KCl eutectic salts for a separation of pure salts from salt wastes from an electrorefining process

“…Pyrochemical process has many advantages such as a compactness, economy, radiation stability of the solvent, non-proliferation and produces less secondary wastes [1,2]. This process involves electrochemically partition the fission products from spent nuclear fuels in a molten salt bath [3][4][5].…”
