Lithium nitrate as a fusion reactor coolant fluid?: a thermochemical assessment. Adamson, M. G.; Calef, D.; Moir, R. 7757-79-1 and 13568-33-7 are also occured in this study. W. (Chem. Mater. Sci. Dep., Lawrence Livermore Natl. Lab., Livermore, CA 94550, USA). J. Fusion Energy, 5(3), 247-52 (English) 1986. CODEN: JFENDS. ISSN: 0164-0313. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 71 (Nuclear Technology) In connection with possible application as a coolant fluid in a fusion reactors, molten LiNO3 [7790-69-4] and LiNO3/LiNO2 mixts., and their mixts. with Na/K nitrates, were evaluated with respect to their high temp. stability, their ability to reversibly dissolve an release T and, in a very limited sense, their corrosiveness toward structural alloys. The results of the primarily thermochem. evaluation indicate that with respect to thermal/radiolytic decompn. and corrosivity LiNO3/LiNO2 may be suitable for application up to ~700 K; however, with respect to reversibility/irreversibility of T release, it appears unsuitable at all likely operating temps. (~675-800 K). .

The double layer at the mercury/acetone interface at large positive charges

The double layer at the mercury/acetone interface at large positive charges. Borkowska, Zofia (Inst. Phys. Chem., Pol. Acad. Sci., Warsaw, Pol.). J. Electroanal. Chem. Interfacial Electrochem., 79(1), 206-10 (English) 1977. CODEN: JEIEBC. DOCUMENT TYPE: Journal CA Section: 72 (Electrochemistry) Section cross-reference(s): 66 The elec. double layer in acetone [67-64-1] was studied by capacitance measurements, and the accessible potential range in solns. of several weakly adsorbed electrolytes was established. The double layer capacitance curves were plotted in 0.2M KPF6 [17084-13-8], LiNO3 [7790-69-4] and 0.1-1M NaClO4 [7601-89-0] solns. using an a.c. Schering type impedance bridge. Zero-charge potentials were detd. for each soln. using a streaming Hg electrode. Potentials were measured vs. an aq. 1M LiCl calomel electrode. Addnl., the half-wave potential of cobalticinium in each soln. was measured. Acetone is another org. solvent with a low dielec. const. in which a water-like capacity hump was found at potentials pos. of the point of zero charge. As for many other org. solvents, the preferred orientation of the acetone dipole is with its pos. end towards Hg. Solvent reorientation phenomena are possibly responsible for the hump. However, at such pos. potentials, some sp. adsorption of anions likely occurs and the acetone hump is possibly of soln. ionic nature.
