Effects of composition and canister centerline cooling on microstructure, phase distribution, and chemical durability of dehalogenated iron phosphate waste forms

This paper discusses the effects of composition and canister centerline cooling (CCC) on the microstructures, phase distribution, and chemical durability of dehalogenated iron phosphate waste forms starting from chloride-based salt simulants including KCl (Simple-1), NdCl3 (Simple-2), SrCl2 (Simple-3), LaCl3 (Simple-4), LiCl (Simple-5), CsCl (Simple-6), as well as a complex simulant containing LiCl, KCl, NaCl, CsI, SrCl2, CeCl3, and NdCl3 called ERV2. The simulants represent salt constituents present in salt wastes from electrorefiners used for electrochemical reprocessing. These salts are reacted with ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) resulting in a NH4Cl (dechlorination) byproduct that is captured and phosphate product containing oxides of the salt cations. This product is further stabilized using Fe2O3 through vitrification at higher temperatures. The results presented herein describe the properties of CCC-treated materials following dechlorination and vitrification including phase identification and quantification, elemental distributions, and chemical durabilities. The chemical durability in the CCC-cooled samples are lower durability than quenched materials for the ERV2 samples. The phases formed upon CCC cooling are very complex compositionally and microstructurally.

First-principles-derived transport properties of Molten chloride salts

Molten salts have many applications ranging from a heat transfer medium in both generation IV nuclear reactor designs and the solar industry to thermal storage systems. While molten salts show promising properties for these applications, there still exists a knowledge gap for the transport properties of molten salts at elevated temperatures. This work uses ab initio Molecular Dynamics to investigate the transport properties of KCl, LiCl, KCl-LiCl eutectic, NaCl, MgCl 2 , and NaCl-MgCl 2 eutectic molten salt systems. Further, the properties presented here are the diffusion coefficient, viscosity, and isochoric heat capacity. These properties are compared to experimental data where available and other computational work in cases where no experimental data is available. This is the first work to explore timescales over 100 ps via AIMD for the determination of transport properties in molten salts.

Cation–polymer interactions and local heterogeneity determine the relative order of alkali cation diffusion coefficients in PEGDA hydrogels

Current research efforts are focused on endowing polymer membranes with ion–ion selectivity by incorporating ion–polymer interactions into materials to bias the selective partitioning and or diffusivity of one species over another. However, little is known about the impact of such interactions on the mechanisms of ion transport. In this study, we probe the influence of cation–polymer interactions on cation, anion, and salt diffusivity in a model membrane material, poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) by modeling concentrated polyethylene oxide solutions via molecular dynamics simulations. These results are compared to published experimental data for LiCl, NaCl, and KCl diffusion in PEGDA. Experimentally, the order of salt and cation diffusion coefficients for LiCl, NaCl, and KCl deviate from the order in aqueous solutions. Here, simulations identify these deviations to arise from cation–polymer coordination in the membrane. Both the fraction of bound cations and the average binding lifetime increases with decreasing cation hydration free energy (moving down the alkali series), leading to different diffusivity trends in the membrane compared to solution. However, to recover the experimentally observed order of diffusivities cations and salt in our simulations, we needed to incorporate membrane heterogeneity explicitly via a polymer charge scaling procedure. Together, our results indicate that cation–polymer interactions, as well as spatial heterogeneity within the membrane, play a critical role in dictating the observed order of alkali cation and salt diffusion coefficients in membranes.

Ab initio Molecular Dynamics Assessment of Thermodynamic and Transport Properties in (K,Li)Cl and (K, Na)Cl Molten Salt Mixtures

Molten salt mixtures are integral part of highly important technological applications such as nuclear reactors. However, due to inherent difficulties associated with experiment at high temperatures and the intrinsic complexity of liquid-phase multi-component systems, understanding their properties at a molecular level remains a challenge. Here, we report on an ab initio molecular dynamics investigation on structural, electronic, transport, and thermal properties of two common molten salt mixtures, (K, Li)Cl and (K,Na)Cl, at five different compositions and three temperatures. Most of the properties were found to depend on both composition and temperature. While properties, like atomic charges, show additive behaviors, other properties, such as electrical conductivity, show considerable deviations from additivity. We shall show that the mixing of the molten salt mixtures is mainly driven by entropy, and that the KCl and LiCl mix better than KCl and NaCl. Our computational results are in general consistent with available experimental data. Comparison with available theoretical data is also provided.

In-situ thermophysical measurement of flowing molten chloride salt using modulated photothermal radiometry

Molten salts are leading candidates for high-temperature heat transfer fluids (HTFs) for thermal energy storage and conversion systems in concentrated solar power (CSP) and nuclear energy power plants. The ability to probe molten salt thermal transport properties in both stationary and flowing status is important for the evaluation of their heat transfer performance under realistic operational conditions, including the temperature range and potential degradation due to corrosion and contamination. However, accurate thermal transport properties are usually challenging to obtain even for stagnant molten salts due to different sources of errors from convection, radiation, and corrosion, let alone at flowing status. To the best of authors’ knowledge, there is no available in-situ technique for measuring flowing molten salt thermal conductivity. Here, we report the first in-situ flowing molten salt thermal conductivity measurement using modulated photothermal radiometry (MPR). We could successfully perform the first in-situ thermal conductivity measurement of flowing molten NaCl-KCl-MgCl 2 in the typical operating temperature (520 and 580 °C) with flow velocities ranging from around 0.3 to 1.0 m s -1 . The relative change of the molten salt thermal conductivity was measured. Gnielinski’s correlation was also used to estimate the heat transfer coefficient h of the flowing NaCl-KCl-MgCl 2 in the given experimental condition. Furthermore, the work showed the potential of the MPR technique serving as an in-situ diagnostics tool to evaluate the heat transfer performance of flowing molten salts and other high-temperature HTFs.

Ion Solvation and Transport in Narrow Carbon Nanotubes: Effects of Polarizability, Cation-π Interaction, and Confinement

Understanding ion solvation and transport under confinement is critical for a wide range of emerging technologies, including water desalination and energy storage. While molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been widely used to study the behavior of confined ions, considerable deviations between simulation results depending on the specific treatment of intermolecular interactions remain. In the following, we present a systematic investigation of the structure and dynamics of two representative solutions, that is, KCl and LiCl, confined in narrow carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a diameter of 1.1 and 1.5 nm, using a combination of first-principles and classical MD simulations. Our simulations show that the inclusion of both polarization and cation-π interactions is essential for the description of ion solvation under confinement, particularly for large ions with weak hydration energies. Beyond the variation in ion solvation, we find that cation-π interactions can significantly influence the transport properties of ions in CNTs, particularly for KCl, where our simulations point to a strong correlation between ion dehydration and diffusion. Finally, our study highlights the complex interplay between nanoconfinement and specific intermolecular interactions that strongly control the solvation and transport properties of ions.

Cations Control Lipid Bilayer Memcapacitance Associated with Long-Term Potentiation

Phospholipid bilayers can be described as capacitors whose capacitance per unit area (specific capacitance, C m ) is determined by their thickness and dielectric constant–independent of applied voltage. It is also widely assumed that the C m of membranes can be treated as a “biological constant”. Recently, using droplet interface bilayers (DIBs), it was shown that zwitterionic phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipid bilayers can act as voltage-dependent, nonlinear memory capacitors, or memcapacitors. When exposed to an electrical “training” stimulation protocol, capacitive energy storage in lipid membranes was enhanced in the form of long-term potentiation (LTP), which enables biological learning and long-term memory. LTP was the result of membrane restructuring and the progressive asymmetric distribution of ions across the lipid bilayer during training, which is analogous, for example, to exponential capacitive energy harvesting from self-powered nanogenerators. Here, we describe how LTP could be produced from a membrane that is continuously pumped into a nonequilibrium steady state, altering its dielectric properties. During this time, the membrane undergoes static and dynamic changes that are fed back to the system’s potential energy, ultimately resulting in a membrane whose modified molecular structure supports long-term memory storage and LTP. Here, we also show that LTP is very sensitive to different salts (KCl, NaCl, LiCl, and TmCl 3 ), with LiCl and TmCl 3 having the most profound effect in depressing LTP, relative to KCl. This effect is related to how the different cations interact with the bilayer zwitterionic PC lipid headgroups primarily through electric-field-induced changes to the statistically averaged orientations of water dipoles at the bilayer headgroup interface.

Strain Engineering: Reduction of Microstrain at the Perovskite Surface via Alkali Metal Chloride Treatment Enhances Stability

Degradation of halide perovskites under a humid atmosphere is the major challenge preventing widespread commercial deployment of this material class. Here it is shown that strain engineering via alkali metal chloride treatment at the FAPbI 3 /SnO 2 interface effectively improves moisture-related stability. CsCl and KCl treatments reduce microstrain at the perovskite surface and slow the α- to δ-phase transformation. Alkali metal treatments with LiCl, NaCl, and RbCl led to an increase in microstrain and faster degradation. The compressive strain at the perovskite surface was the smallest for CsCl and was linked to improved stability. First-principles density functional theory calculations confirm the preferential formation of alkali defects at interstitial positions at the perovskite surface. Particularly CsCl and KCl treatments lead to a release of compressive strain at the perovskite surface and local structural distortions that may favor passivation of surface defects. In contrast, the room-temperature dynamics of Li interstitials result in an overall expansion of lattice volume, which may be linked to more facile lattice degradation.

Electrochemical Separation of Alkaline-Earth Elements from Molten Salts Using Liquid Metal Electrodes

Closing the nuclear fuel cycle requires recycling used nuclear fuel. Additional waste is generated during recycling due to fission products accumulating in processing salts (LiCl-KCl). Reducing waste generated during recycling entails recovering alkaline-earth fission products (Ba 2+ /Sr 2+ ) from molten chlorides with a minimal loss of bulk electrolyte constituents (Li + /K + ). Electrochemical co-deposition of Ba 2+ /Li + and Sr 2+ /Li + into liquid metal (Bi, Sb, Sn, Pb) and alloy (Bi-Sb) electrodes was investigated in LiCl-KCl-(BaCl 2 , SrCl 2 ) electrolytes at 500 °C and 650 °C. For the pure Bi (500 °C) and Sb (650 °C) electrodes, the greatest percentage of charge was used to deposit Ba and Sr. Effective recovery of Ba/Sr by liquid Bi and Sb electrodes is supported via experimentally determined activity values of Ba/Sr in Bi and Sb. Alloying Sb with Bi increased Ba recovery but decreased Sr recovery, as compared to recovery using the liquid Bi electrode. Here, the results suggest that alkaline-earth fission products can be recovered from molten chlorides by liquid metal electrodes via electrochemical separation, thereby providing a methodology to reduce the generation of nuclear waste from nuclear fuel recycling.

Using molten salts to probe outer-coordination sphere effects on lanthanide( III )/( II ) electron-transfer reactions

Controlling structure and reactivity by manipulating the outer-coordination sphere around a given reagent represents a longstanding challenge in chemistry. Despite advances toward solving this problem, it remains difficult to experimentally interrogate and characterize outer-coordination sphere impact. Here, this work describes an alternative approach that quantifies outer-coordination sphere effects. It shows how molten salt metal chlorides (MCl n ; M = K, Na, n = 1; M = Ca, n = 2) provided excellent platforms for experimentally characterizing the influence of the outer-coordination sphere cations (M n+ ) on redox reactions accessible to lanthanide ions; Ln 3+ + e 1– → Ln 2+ (Ln = Eu, Yb, Sm; e 1– = electron). As a representative example, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry results showed that Eu 2+ instantaneously formed when Eu 3+ dissolved in molten chloride salts that had strongly polarizing cations (like Ca 2+ from CaCl 2 ) via the Eu 3+ + Cl 1– → Eu 2+ + ½Cl 2 reaction. Conversely, molten salts with less polarizing outer-sphere M 1+ cations (e.g., K 1+ in KCl) stabilized Ln 3+ . For instance, the Eu 3+ /Eu 2+ reduction potential was >0.5 V more positive in CaCl 2 than in KCl. In accordance with first-principle molecular dynamics (FPMD) simulations, we postulated that hard M n+ cations (high polarization power) inductively removed electron density from Ln n+ across Ln–Cl···M n+ networks and stabilized electron-rich and low oxidation state Ln 2+ ions. Conversely, less polarizing M n+ cations (like K 1+ ) left electron density on Lnn+ and stabilized electron-deficient and high-oxidation state Ln 3+ ions.

Water Migration and Swelling in Engineered Barrier Materials for Radioactive Waste Disposal

Deep, underground repositories are needed to isolate radioactive waste from the biosphere. Because bentonite is an integral component of many multibarrier repository systems, information on the hydraulic behavior of bentonite is crucial for modeling the long-term viability of such systems. In this paper the hydraulic behavior of bentonite samples was analyzed as a function of aggregate size, and samples were subjected to hydrothermal treatments involving contact with NaCl, KCl, and deionized water. Neutron and X-ray imaging were used to quantify water sorption into packed bentonite samples and bentonite swelling into the water column. The distance between the original clay-water interface and the wetting front was determined as a function of time. Average water uptake exhibited a square-root-of-time dependence in freshly prepared samples, but more variable rates were observed for samples previously in contact with water. The radiography was supported by small-angle neutron scattering analysis and ultra-small-angle neutron scattering analysis of aggregate size distributions and by inelastic neutron scattering to understand the physicochemical environment of the sorbed water. Results showed that hydrothermal treatment with KCl had the greatest effect of increased water transport in the bentonite, possibly as a result of the interaction of K + with smectite layers in the clay.

Optimization of Dimensions of Smooth and Twisted-Tape-Inserted Tubes for Heat Transfer with NaCl/KCl/MgCl 2 Molten Salts by Principle of Entropy Generation Minimization

The entropy generation minimization principle is used as the criterion to optimize the flow and heat transfer of solar collectors and heat exchangers that use molten salts NaCl–KCl–MgCl 2 and KCl–MgCl 2 . The Gnielinski correlation for the Nusselt number versus Reynolds number, as well as the Moody friction factor given by Petukhov, was used for the calculation of the convective heat transfer coefficient and pressure loss due to friction in smooth tubes. For twisted-tap-inserted tube, equations of Nu and friction factor provided by Manglik and Bergles were used. The objective function, the entropy generation rate of the heat transfer system, was expressed as the function of Reynolds number, Prandtl number, heating flux, tube diameter, etc. As a result of the analysis, the optimum Reynolds number was determined and thereby to determine the optimum Nusselt number, convective heat transfer coefficient, friction factor, and tube diameter, which also allows the calculation of optimum flow velocity. The analysis was conducted in the fluid temperature range of 500–700 °C, which covers the operation temperature for supercritical CO 2 power cycles in concentrated solar power (CSP) system. Here, optimized results from the smooth tube and twisted-tap-inserted tube are compared, which is important to the design of solar receivers for CSP systems.

In Situ Transmission Electron Microscopy of High-Temperature Inconel-625 Corrosion by Molten Chloride Salts

This paper describes an approach to monitor high temperature molten chloride (MgCl 2 -NaCl-KCl) salt corrosion of Inconel-625 alloy in real time at high spatial resolution. The approach is based on a micro-environmental-cell assembly integrated into a transmission-electron-microscope goniometer to examine in situ the salt-alloy interface during corrosion, employing real time electron diffraction and imaging. It establishes procedures to minimize incorporation of H 2 O or O 2 from atmosphere in the chloride salts during sample fabrication and corrosion, which is critical to understanding the fundamental corrosion mechanisms. A clustering algorithm and a 2D Gaussian fit function are used to determine diffraction spot intensities in in situ diffraction patterns, to quantify alloy corrosion. This facilitates quantitative observation of the evolution of individual grains, in contrast to conventional macroscopic corrosion rate quantification. The isothermal corrosion rate of Inconel-625 in an anhydrous, unoxidized salt-stack is 220 ± 30 μm year -1 at 700 °C and 350 ± 20 μm year -1 at 800 °C. However, the corrosion rate at 700 °C increases five-fold to 1000 ± 170 μm year -1 when the salt stack is air-exposed, indicating the dominant effects of hydrated or oxidized impurities on corrosion acceleration. Furthermore, real time imaging of the microstructure evolution suggests that corrosion is initiated at grain boundaries.

Editors’ Choice—Molten Salt Electrolysis in Chloride Melts for Energy-Efficient Iron Metal Production

This study explores chloride molten salt electrolysis (CMSE) as a promising route for energy-efficient iron metal (Fe) production. Moderate temperature (500 °C) LiCl-KCl molten salts offer excellent thermodynamic stability, high ionic conductivity and diffusivity, and high solubility for FeCl 3 , thereby enabling efficient Fe metal extraction at high electrowinning rates. Here, we demonstrate the two essential steps for converting taconite ore into Fe metal. First, Fe 2 O 3 from taconite pellets was selectively leached in HCl yielding a high-purity FeCl 3 aqueous solution, while the gangue components settled at the bottom. Then, anhydrous FeCl 3 was electrolyzed in a LiCl-KCl eutectic molten salt at 500 °C at high current density (1 A cm −2 ) and at high Coulombic efficiency (>85%). Analysis of the electrowon Fe deposits revealed dendritic structures with purity of >99 wt%, which could be further improved to nearly 100 wt% through arc re-melting. CMSE offers low specific energy consumption (3.7 kWhr kg −1 ), competitive with H 2 -DRI and other electrolytic approaches being pursued globally. Our findings underscore the potential of CMSE as an energy-efficient route for electrosynthesis of Fe metal.

Guidelines for Making, Interpreting, and Quantifying Activity Measurements of Molten Salts Containing Mixed Cations and Anions Using Cation-Based Electrodes by Electromotive Force

Measurements of thermochemical properties in molten salt electrolytes with mixtures of cations and anions are difficult to interpret. Electromotive force measurements of salts containing common anions were driven by the least stable anion compound (e.g., LiCl in LiCl-KCl), while measurements in common cation salts were driven by the most noble anion half-cell reaction (e.g., F − /F 2 in LiCl-LiF). Measurements in mixed cation and anion salts were driven by the least stable anion compound for the most noble anion half-cell reaction (e.g., KF in KCl-LiF). These guidelines enable quantification of the activity of electroactive species in salts containing multiple cations or anions.

Direct Measurement of Cl − Activity in Metal Chloride Molten Salts using a Cl 2 /Cl − Electrode

Molten metal chloride salts are promising candidates for advanced heat transfer fluids in generation IV nuclear reactors and beyond. The activity of the chloride ion in the salt has a large influence on the redox characteristics of the corresponding molten salt. There exists a knowledge gap for the direct measurement of chlorobasicity (Lewis basicity) in molten-salt mixtures. Here, the focus of this work was to develop a Cl 2 /Cl − electrode for the direct measurement of chloride activity in molten metal-chloride salt mixtures. The LiCl–KCl eutectic system was utilized as the reference melt to determine the change in chloride ion activity as increasing concentrations of MgCl 2 are added to the LiCl–KCl eutectic working electrode. The results of the measurements indicated a reduction in chloride ion activity as the concentration of magnesium chloride increased, consistent with the complexation of free chlorides by Lewis acidic magnesium cationic species. The Temkin model was used to estimate the thermodynamic properties of MgCl 4 2− complex.

A transcriptome software comparison for the analyses of treatments expected to give subtle gene expression responses

Background: In this comparative study we evaluate the performance of four software tools: DNAstar-D (DESeq2), DNAstar-E (edgeR), CLC Genomics and Partek Flow for identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using a transcriptome of E. coli. The RNA-seq data are from the effect of below-background radiation 5.5 nGy total dose (0.2nGy/hr) on E. coli grown shielded from natural radiation 655 m below ground in a pre-World War II steel vault. The gene expression response to three supplemented sources of radiation designed to mimic natural background, 1952 – 5720 nGy in total dose (71–208 nGy/hr), are compared to this “radiation-deprived” treatment. In addition, RNA-seq data of Caenorhabditis elegans nematode from similar radiation treatments was analyzed by three of the software packages. Results: In E. coli, the four software programs identified one of the supplementary sources of radiation (KCl) to evoke about 5 times more transcribed genes than the minus-radiation treatment (69–114 differentially expressed genes, DEGs), and so the rest of the analyses used this KCl vs “Minus” comparison. After imposing a 30-read minimum cutoff, one of the DNAStar options shared two of the three steps (mapping, normalization, and statistic) with Partek Flow (they both used median of ratios to normalize and the DESeq2 statistical package), and these two programs identified the highest number of DEGs in common with each other (53). In contrast, when the programs used different approaches in each of the three steps, between 31 and 40 DEGs were found in common. Regarding the extent of expression differences, three of the four programs gave high fold-change results (15–178 fold), but one (DNAstar’s DESeq2) resulted in more conservative fold-changes (1.5–3.5). In a parallel study comparing three qPCR commercial validation software programs, these programs also gave variable results as to which genes were significantly regulated. Similarly, the C. elegans analysis showed exaggerated fold-changes in CLC and DNAstar’s edgeR while DNAstar-D was more conservative. Conclusions: Regarding the extent of expression (fold-change), and considering the subtlety of the very low level radiation treatments, in E. coli three of the four programs gave what we consider exaggerated fold-change results (15 – 178 fold), but one (DNAstar’s DESeq2) gave more realistic fold-changes (1.5–3.5). When RT-qPCR validation comparisons to transcriptome results were carried out, they supported the more conservative DNAstar-D’s expression results. When another model organism’s (nematode) response to these radiation differences was similarly analyzed, DNAstar-D also resulted in the most conservative expression patterns. Therefore, we would propose DESeq2 (“DNAstar-D”) as an appropriate software tool for differential gene expression studies for treatments expected to give subtle transcriptome responses.
