A method for producing one or more hydroxide solids includes providing a catholyte comprising an electrolyte solution; contacting the catholyte with an electroactive mesh cathode to electrolytically generate hydroxide ions, thereby precipitating the one or more hydroxide solid(s); and removing the one or more hydroxide solids from the surface of the mesh where they may deposit.
This presentation shows experimental work at INL evaluating the corrosion behavior of wrought and laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) 316H stainless steel (SS) in chloride molten salt systems. This evaluation focuses on understanding the relationship between the material’s as-built characteristics and its corrosion performance, the effects of acid cleaning and descaling before corrosion.
