Abstract

Polarization of solid (tungsten) and liquid (zinc, gallium-zinc eutectic alloy) was studied in LiCl-KCl-ZrCl4, LiCl-KCl-UCl4, LiCl-KCl-UCl3 and LiCl-KCl-ZrCl4-UCl4 melts. Deposition potentials of zirconium and uranium were determined. Ga-Zn alloy showed a difference of ca. 0.9 V in U and Zr deposition potentials. Separation factor of zirconium and uranium in a “molten salt - liquid Ga-Zn alloy” system was determined.
