Abstract
Processes for producing beryllium fluoride salt systems containing beryllium fluoride, such as lithium beryllium fluoride salts, are disclosed herein. The processes include mixing ammonium beryllium fluoride with a lithium compound, melting the mixture to form a molten phase, purging the molten phase, and cooling the molten phase. This reduces the number of manufacturing steps needed to obtain the beryllium fluoride containing salt.
Claims12
A process for producing a lithium beryllium fluoride salt, comprising:
- mixing ammonium beryllium fluoride with a lithium compound to form a reaction mixture;
- melting the reaction mixture to produce a molten phase;
- purging the molten phase;
- and
- cooling the molten phase to obtain the lithium beryllium fluoride salt;
- wherein the lithium compound is lithium hydroxide (LiOH) or lithium carbonate (Li2CO3).
