摘要

An in situ Raman spectroscopy study has established a chemical mechanism for the interaction of lanthanum oxide with a molten fluoride mixture, FLiNaK, which holds promise for use in molten salt nuclear reactors. Hightemperature spectral studies along with the use of x-ray phase analysis and thermodynamic modeling have indicated an irreversible heterogeneous reaction La2O3s + 2LiFsol → 2LaOFs + Li2Osol. The reaction product in this fluoride system (lanthanum oxyfluoride, LaOF) has been shown to form hexagonal (R3m) and tetragonal (P4/nmm) crystal modifications. Data were obtained on the thermal behavior of the vibrational modes of lanthanum oxide La2O3 in the range 20–600oC and its interaction with atmospheric water vapor.
