The refractive index of molten NaCl, KCl, CdCl2, and PbCl2 and of the molten systems NaCl + CdCl2, NaCl + PbCl2, KCl + CdCl2, and KCl + PbCl2 has been measured over a range of temperature. From these results and published density data, molar refractivities have been calculated. The deviation of molar refractivity from the values calculated on the basis of additivity gives further evidence for the formation of complex ions in the KCl + CdCl2 and KCl + PbCl2 systems. In the NaCl + CdCl2 and NaCl + PbCl2 systems there is simple mixing without interaction.

Abstract By using an interferometric technique, the refractive index of some molten salt mixtures containing Cs+ ions was measured with high accuracy: (Li-Cs)NO3, (Na-Cs)NO3, (Ag-Cs)NO3, (Li-Cs)Cl, and also pure RbCl. The isotherms of molar refractivity show a small negative deviation from additivity in the (Li-Cs)NO3 and (Li-Cs)Cl systems and a positive deviation in the (Ag-Cs)NO3 mixture. A tentative attempt was made to relate the excess molar refractivities with the absorption bands of the ions.

The densities of molten PbCl2, CsCl, and RbCl and of the molten salt systems PbCl2 + NaCl, PbCl2 + RbCl, PbCl2 + CsCl, CdCl2 + RbCl, and CdCl, + CsCl have been measured to an accuracy of �0.1% by an Archimedean method over a considerable temperature range. Integral and partial molar volume isotherms have been constructed for the above binary systems and are interpreted to show that complex ions are formed in all but the PbCl2+NaCl system.

The enthalpy change on cooling molten and solid salts and their mixtures from temperatures as high as 850� down to 26.9� has been measured by means of a Bunsen-type fusion calorimeter. The enthalpy of formation of solid mixtures has also been measured using a water solution calorimeter. From the combined results, heats of mixing have been determined for the molten salt systems investigated. In each system, with the exception of CdCl2 + PbCl2, the process of mixing is exothermic and the relative magnitude of the results can be explained by the formation of complex ions in the systems CdC12 +NaCl, CdCl2 +KCl, PbCl2 +KCl, and CdI2 +KI. Complex ions have not been detected in the other systems.

An anomalous increase of the specific heat was experimentally observed in molten salt nanofluids using a differential scanning calorimeter. Binary carbonate molten salt mixtures were used as a base fluid, and the base salts were doped with graphite nanoparticles. Specific heat measurements of the nanofluids were performed to examine the effects of the composition of two salts consisting of the base fluid. In addition, the effect of the nanoparticle concentration was investigated as the concentration of the graphite nanoparticles was varied from 0.025 to 1.0 wt %. Moreover, the dispersion homogeneity of the nanoparticles was explored by increasing amount of surfactant in the synthesis process of the molten salt nanofluids. The results showed that the specific heat of the nanofluid was enhanced by more than 30% in the liquid phase and by more than 36% in the solid phase at a nanoparticle concentration of 1 wt %. It was also observed that the concentration and the dispersion homogeneity of nanoparticles favorably affected the specific heat enhancement of the molten salt nanofluids. The dispersion status of graphite nanoparticles into the salt mixtures was visualized via scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results were explained according to the nanoparticle-induced compressed liquid layer structure of the molten salts.
