Molten salts & molten salts technology: Past, present and future in materials and processing
technology
In the past molten salts where associated to the high temperature corrosion processes that appeared in the combustion
of fossil fuels or that appears in gas turbines. From years ago renewal energies appears in the molten salts scenario, for
example with the development of biomass and waste incineration plants, where the production of energy where associate
also with the undesirable molten salts that corrodes the plant and decreasing at the same time their lifetime. On the other
hand, it appears technologies, that far away that dealing with undesirable salts, they want to use the properties of molten salt
systems to use them in the power plants: this is the case of molten carbonate fuel cells and solar power concentration plants
(CSP), as thermal storage fluid. The possibility to increase their efficiency and to be more competitive energy resources, in
comparison with fossil and nuclear, deals with molten salt technology, and new molten salts mixtures development. A review
of the corrosion mechanisms of those above different applications will be done, with the possibilities in the use of coatings
for corrosion protection and the possibility to use their capabilities to monitor the corrosion “in situ” for the electrochemical
corrosion mechanism associated with this corrosion phenomena. According to this a new hot corrosion mechanism under
dynamic conditions will be establish for the operating conditions in CSP plants, The future roadmap for those molten salts
technology processes and materials design associated with will be described in order to establish their potential capabilities.
