Abstract

The estimation of the effectiveness of different chlorinating agents for the purification of molten chlorides is performed using the experimental data on oxoacidity (W), hydrolysis constants and Red-Ox ponetnials of Cl2 and O2 in chloride melts. The acid-base methods (action of HCl) allow to achieve values of Wlim near 8. A Red-Ox method (direct chlorination) is more effective, Wlim approaches 9.5 and the carbochlorination allows to purify chloride melts to Wlim=19.3.
