Chemical reactions during dissolution of CrCl3 or CrCl2 in molten LiCl-KCL eutectic have been demonstrated to occur, but the nature of the reactions is not yet well understood. Reduction of CrCl3 to chromium metal occurs through two well-characterized electrochemical steps, at approximately +0.1 and -0.9 V vs Ag/AgCl. Each step was studied in the 0.025-0.085 molar CrCl3 concentration range, at various temperatures between 375 and 550 degrees C, The Cr(III)/Cr(II) electron transfer step exhibited reversible behaviour under all the experimental conditions studied. In contrast, the Cr(II)/Cr(0) step could involve Cr(II) adsorbed species and initial chromium electrocrystallization phenomena, mainly depending on the nature of the substrate.
