Researchers Explore Coating for Tanks Holding Molten Salts

Keeping storage tank corrosion rates to a minimum is considered vital for use of molten salts in storage devices for electricity. Stephen Mraz The next-generation of concentrated solar power plants will require high-temperature fluids, such as molten salts in the range of 550 to 750°C, to store heat and generate electricity. At those temperatures, however, …
