Description

Highlights: • The interaction of oxygen and cerium-free ions in molten 3LiCl-2KCl eutectic K was studied. • Stable states of cerium compounds and the mechanism of interaction have been established. • The solubility constants and principal thermodynamic data of CeOCl and Ce2O3 were calculated. • The Pourbaix diagram was drawn and the characteristics of the stable cerium species were summarized. The interaction of oxygen and cerium-free ions in molten 3LiCl-2KCl eutectic in the temperature range of (723–823) K was studied by the method of potentiometric titration using YZME electrodes. Stable states of cerium compounds in the Ce–O system and the mechanism of interaction of Ce3+ with O2− ions have been established. The solubility constants of cerium oxychloride and oxide compounds at different temperatures were determined. Principal thermodynamic data of CeOCl and Ce2O3 were calculated. The Pourbaix (potential-pO2−) diagram was drawn and summarizes the properties of stable cerium species in the melt.
