Abstract

Disclosed are galvanic cells and methods for treating a molten salt by use of the galvanic cells. The galvanic cell can provide anti-corrosion treatment and improved corrosion resistance via electrochemical and chemical reactions involving a corrosive impurity in a molten salt. Reaction products of the chemical and electrochemical reactions include hydrogen gas that can carry hydrogen isotopes evolved in the molten salt. The system can also include removal of the hydrogen gas from the molten salt and separation and recovery of tritium contained therein.
