Abstract
The Gibbs free energy and the entropy of mixing of Li2CO3-K2CO3 binary molten salts (Li2CO3/K2CO3 molar ratio: 43/57, 50/50, 62/38) and FeCO 3 were calculated by using the molecular dynamics simulation method. T he mixing Gibbs free energy showed a maximum value for the 50/50 melt. Therefore, it was considered that Fe ion is most unstable in the 50/5 0 melt. On the other hand, the result of corrosion test of Fe in these binary melts indicated that the corrosiveness is minimum in the 50/50 melt. According to these results, it was considered that the minimum corrosiveness of Fe in the 50/50 melt is attributed to the difficulty in existing of Fe ion in the melt.
