Abstract

The electrical conductivity of low-temperature electrolytes based on Na3AlF6 was measured by means of a tube-type cell. AC-techniques with a sine wave signal in the high frequency range were applied. Basic binary melts NaF-AlF3 were studied at different molar cryolite ratios MR = (2.0–1.2) in the temperature range from the temperature of primary crystallization to 100°C overheat. The influence of the additions of 2 wt% of Al2O3, 5 wt% of CaF2 or 2 wt% of MgF2 was investigated at the same conditions, as well. The temperature and concentration dependencies of the conductivity in the studied systems were determined.
