Reaction of oxygen with solutions of neodymium chloride in LiCl and 3LiCl–2KCl melts was studied at 450 °C–750 °C. The reaction resulted in the formation of neodymium oxychloride and the effect of temperature, amount of oxygen passed through the melt (oxygen-to-neodymium molar ratio), gas phase comp...
