Popis: The corrosion of chromium species in molten (Li/K) 2 CO 3 and (Li/Na/K) 2 CO 3 are investigated by spectrophotometry. A strong charge-transfer absorption band is observed in the ultraviolet region with λ max =372 nm, and the molar absorptivity of CrO 4 2− in molten (Li/K) 2 CO 3 is calculated. The corrosion rates are investigated by means of increasing the concentration of CrO 4 2− in the melts. Under an air atmosphere, the corrosion rate is slower in molten (Li/K) 2 CO 3 than in molten (Li/Na/K) 2 CO 3 and Cr 2 O 3 corrodes more easily in molten (Li/K) 2 CO 3 than Cr. With an atmosphere of CO 2 =1 atm, there is no increase in the CrO 4 2− concentration in the solution phase during a period of 5 h.
