Title:
ELECTROCHEMICAL SEPARATION MECHANISM IN A MOLTEN SALT REACTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/231971
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Some embodiments include an chemical separation mechanism for a molten salt reactor where the molten salt may include fission products. In some embodiments, the chemical separation mechanism includes a molten salt receptacle with a molten salt disposed within, a solvent receptacle having a solvent disposed within; an electrode; and an electrode mechanism. In some embodiments, the electrode mechanism may be configured to submerse the electrode into the molten salt receptacle such that a chemical reaction occurs between the electrode and one or more of the fission products in the molten salt. In some embodiments, the electrode mechanism may submerse the electrode into the solvent receptacle such that a chemical reaction occurs resulting in one or more of the fission products being deposited into the solvent.
