The
molten salt with KAlF
4 as the basic composition can not only be used as the
electrolyte in the new low temperature aluminum electrolysis industry, but also
be used as flux in the brazing of all kinds of aluminum radiators. Due to its
low melt viscosity, low surface tension, super fluidity and high corrosion, the
quantitative analysis of molten salt microstructure in this system has always
been a high technical bottleneck. In order to study the
microstructure of KAlF
4 melt, Raman peak and relative Raman
scattering cross−section of [Al
2F
7]
− ion
clusters in KAlF
4 melt were studied by means of
in situ Raman spectroscopy and quantum chemistry
ab initio calculation method. The [Al
2F
7]
− ion was quantitatively analyzed by the Raman spectrum analysis of KAlF
4 melt. The results show that in addition to K
+, [AlF
6]
3−,
[AlF
5]
2−and [AlF
4]
− ion clusters,
there are also [Al2F7]− ion clusters in
KAlF4 melt, and the content is about 1.75 mol%.
