Abstract
- The reactions of oxygen and samarium ions in molten NaCl–2CsCl eutectic in the temperature range of 823–913 K have been investigated by potentiometric titration in an inert gas atmosphere. The activity of oxygen ions in the studied melts was monitored using a standard YZME (indicator) electrode based on Y<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript>-stabilized ZrO<subscript>2</subscript> with a solid–electrolyte membrane. The titration of Sm<superscript>3+</superscript> by O<superscript>2−</superscript> ions demonstrated the formation of insoluble SmOCl compounds in the investigated region. The mechanism of formation of SmOCl and Sm<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> was established by the analysis of potentiometric titration curves. Subsequently, the solubility of SmOCl and Sm<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> in the melt was calculated using the material balance equation and solubility constant equation. Finally, the basic thermodynamic properties of SmOCl and Sm<subscript>2</subscript>O<subscript>3</subscript> in molten NaCl–2CsCl eutectic were calculated, and the properties of samarium in the melt were summarized using the Pourbaix-type (E-pO<superscript>2−</superscript>) diagram to determine the kinds of stabilized samarium compounds. Furthermore, the optimal chlorination conditions can be obtained from the E-pO<superscript>2−</superscript> diagram of Sm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
