Dynamics and control of molten-salt breeder reactor
Preliminary results of the dynamic analysis of a two-fluid molten-salt breeder reactor (MSBR) system are presented. Based on an earlier work on the preliminary dynamic model of the concept, the model presented here is nonlinear and has been revised to ...

A Molten Salt Extraction Method for Palladium Recovery via the CaPd<sub>2</sub> Intermetallic Compound. [PDF]
A designed Ca → CaPd2 → Pd pathway enables acid–free palladium recovery in molten salt. Calcium alloying forms anionic CaPd2, which is selectively oxidized by iodine from CaI2 to yield high–purity metallic Pd. ABSTRACT To address palladium scarcity and the low efficiency of conventional recovery processes, this work presents a molten–salt extraction ...

Novel waste printed circuit board recycling process with molten salt
The objective of the method was to prove the concept of a novel waste PCBs recycling process which uses inert, stable molten salts as the direct heat transfer fluid and, simultaneously, uses this molten salt to separate the metal products in either ...

Design and analysis of a heat-pipe molten salt reactor tower thermal power generation system
BackgroundMolten salt reactors, one of the important types of fourth-generation advanced reactors, use high-boiling-point molten salt as a nuclear fuel carrier after melting, hence have the characteristics of high-temperature output and normal-pressure ...
