NEUP CINR-20-19704: Multicomponent Thermochemistry of Complex Chloride Salts for Sustain-able Fuel Cycle Technologies

The goal of the proposed research is to develop a comprehensive thermodynamic database of multicomponent chloride salts through a collaboration between experts in Gibbs energy modeling and thermochemical experiments. A thermochemical database of the multicomponent chloride system KCl-LiCl-NaCl-UCl3-LnCl3 (Ln: La, Pr, Nd) will be developed using the CALPHAD (Calculation of Phase Diagrams) method with supported ab initio calculations and thermal analysis experiments.
