Design and thermal stability study of LiNO3-NaNO3-KNO3 ternary molten salt system
According to the binary molten salt system phase diagrams
the phase diagram of LiNO
3
-NaNO
3
-KNO
3
ternary molten salt system was calculated with the CIS model
it turned out that
the lowest eutectic melting point was 117.7℃ and the corresponding composition was
x
(LiNO
3
) = 0.375,
x
(NaNO
3
) = 0.075 and
x
(KNO
3
) = 0.550. The eutectic mixture was prepared based on the predicted eutectic composition
and a experiment test was carried out by the thermal gravimetric analysis (TG) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The DSC test showed that the experimental melting point was 117.7℃
which was in good agreement with the result of this calculation. The TG test results show that the ternary molten salt system is stable when the temperature is below 587.2°C
and its working temperature range is 118.3—587.2°C. The system is quite suitable as a material for high-temperature heat transfer and heat storage in solar thermal power generation.
