Can two-component molten salts be hammered?
Thread Content
There is a large amount of solid molten salt at room temperature in a device that needs to be removed; I don’t know how to deal with it Is there any danger from knocking?
First, figure out the properties of the lava; it cannot be struck, as there have been cases of explosions
It depends on what kind of salt it is Chlorides and sulfates are fine, but *ao sulfates – hitting them could be dangerous.
Lava is primarily composed of *ao sulfates and sub-*ao sulfates; hitting it poses a risk
Although aryl sulfonates are unstable, the risk from gentle tapping is not high; of course, it’s best to use something like a wooden stick or rubber mallet – iron tools should be avoided
There are many salts that tend to crystallize, form lumps, and stick together, especially those with multiple components; it is recommended to use hot water for dissolution in order to remove them
