Summary: The corrosion behavior and mechanism of 316SS alloy in NaCl-KCl-ZnCl2 molten salts were investigated. The annual corrosion rate initially increased and then decreased to a steady rate. No evident pitting and intergranular corrosion were observed. An oxide layer composed of various oxides formed on the surface of the 316SS samples. The corrosion mechanism involved the hygroscopicity of ZnCl2, the reactions with Fe and Cr, and the formation of nickel oxide. Removal of Zn(OH)2 or basic zinc chloride in NaCl-KCl-ZnCl2 is necessary for commercial application.

Summary: The corrosion of Ni and Ni-20Cr in molten ZnCl2 at 593 K under argon atmosphere was investigated using cyclic polarization and electron microscopy techniques. It was found that the corrosion rates for Ni-20Cr were significantly higher than for pure Ni, attributed to selective anodic dissolution of Cr. The mechanisms of corrosion and dissolution kinetics were discussed, with grain boundary attack and formation of pore-salt network regions identified as acceleration factors.

The effects of adding WO3 and changing the current density on the morphology and thickness of the W coatings were investigated, with XRD and SEM analysis confirming the successful formation of smooth and dense W coatings of different thicknesses. The experiments showed that different conditions led to the formation of W coatings with thicknesses ranging from approximately 15 to 30 μm.

Summary: The high-temperature corrosion characteristics of Inconel 625 and NiCrMoAl cladding layers were studied in molten NaCl-KCl and NaCl-KCl-K2SO4. In NaCl-KCl, the corrosion behavior was primarily controlled by an electrochemical mechanism, followed by a chlorine-active corrosion mechanism. NiCrMoAl cladding layer exhibited significantly higher corrosion resistance than Inconel 625 cladding layer due to the enhanced difficulty of Cl- inward diffusion by the generated Al2O3. In NaCl-KCl-K2SO4, the presence of protective Al2O3 and Cr2O3 worsened the corrosion due to the basic fluxing mechanism. Furthermore, the reaction between Al and SO42- resulted in the consumption of Al and the formation of free S, leading to severe corrosion of the NiCrMoAl cladding layer compared to Inconel 625 cladding layer.

Summary: This paper systematically studied the influence of ionic radius, valence state, surface concentration, and basicity of dopants on the catalytic performance of La2O3 in transesterification of glycerol and dimethyl carbonate. It was found that the ionic radius and valence state of the dopants are the determining factors, while the basic site density is not crucial. Among alkali and alkaline earth metals, 25 mol% Na/La2O3 catalyst achieved the highest glycerol conversion (85%) and glycerol carbonate yield (60%). A plausible mechanism of glycerol and dimethyl carbonate transesterification on Na/La2O3 catalyst has been proposed. This research could help understand the promotional role of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals and guide future design of metal oxide catalysts.

Summary: The development of novel sidewall materials with excellent corrosion resistance in molten salts electrolyte is important for the aluminum electrolysis industry. In this study, a new ZnxNi1-xCr2O4 spinel structured sidewall material was prepared by solid-phase reaction. The addition of Zn2+ in the spinels enhanced the corrosion resistance by suppressing cation diffusion and stabilizing Cr3+. The Zn0.5Ni0.5Cr2O4 spinel exhibited an extremely low corrosion rate compared with other sidewall materials, showing great potential for electrolytic cells.

Summary: The high energy consumption of aqueous amine absorbents hinders their global deployment for carbon dioxide capture. Non-aqueous amine systems provide energy-efficient alternatives, but are prone to precipitation during the absorption process. This study combines experimental and theoretical approaches to investigate the factors influencing precipitation and the effectiveness of different solvents. Based on these findings, novel non-aqueous absorbents have been developed to improve CO2 absorption and desorption performance, resulting in reduced energy consumption.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
