In response to the safety hazards caused by the high-temperature thermal decomposition of molten salts in molten salt energy storage technology
this study aims to systematically investigate the high-temperature decomposition behavior and mechanism of molten salts by conducting high-precision online monitoring of corresponding key gaseous products. Based on the wavelength modulation-direct absorption spectroscopy (WM-DAS) technique
an experimental system has been designed and constructed for the dynamic
real-time
and high-precision online monitoring of high-temperature reactions of molten salts and corresponding products
enabling the real-time detection of the concentrations of NO and N
2
O
which are decomposition products of molten salts. The sys
tem achieves lower detection limits of 2.610
-6
and 2.110
-5
for the volume fractions of NO and N
2
O
respectively
with remarkably low standard deviations of the fitting residuals for the absorbance function
at 1.26910
-3
and 1.41610
-4
respectively. The experimental results on the high-temperature decomposition of molten salts indicate that the decomposition temperature of pure sodium nitrite molten salt is 256 ℃
while both pure nitric acid molten salt and ternary nitrate molten salt (HTS molten salt) exhibit higher decomposition temperatures
both at 290 ℃. Under identical conditions
pure sodium nitrite molten salt generates higher NO and N
2
O emissions compared to HTS molten salt containing an equivalent amount of sodium nitrite. Additionally
reactions between nitric acid molten salt and quartz materials would significantly increase NO emissions at temperatures above 500 ℃.
