A method of in situ corrosion mitigation in a molten salt process includes preheating a sparging gas mixture comprising a sparging gas and a carrier gas. The method also includes contacting molten salt with the preheated sparging gas mixture. The method further includes transferring impurities in the molten salt to a surface of the molten salt with the preheated sparging gas mixture. Additional methods are also disclosed.

About Us

The Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) is the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy's only designated nuclear energy user facility. Through peer-reviewed proposal processes, the NSUF provides researchers access to neutron, ion, and gamma irradiations, post-irradiation examination and beamline capabilities at Idaho National Laboratory and a diverse mix of university, national laboratory and industry partner institutions.
