ChemInform Abstract
The solubility of UO2 in molten title salts is determined by using visible and near-IR absorption spectroscopy. UO2 is most soluble in molten AlCl3 followed by MgCl2 melts. No solubility in molten CaCl2 is detected by optical spectroscopy. The measured solubilities are analyzed in terms of the Flood-Forland-Grjotheim thermodynamic cycle.
