Goals and Objectives
• The goal is to find a heat transfer and thermal storage fluid with a usable liquid range from near 0 to above 400 °C that will meet the cost and performance requirements of parabolic trough systems.
• The near term objective (FY03) is to identify a fluid with the potential for service up to 300 °C.

Project to Date
• Synthesis and thermal stability of imidazolium salts and identification of other possible salts – NREL FY2000-present
• Physical properties, materials compatibility, and extended thermal stability testing – The University of Alabama FY2001-present
• Production Process and Cost Study - Peak Design Subcontract FY02

The Challenge for A New Fluid
• Low freezing point - <25 °C• Low vapor pressure - < 1 atm at Tmax• Low cost - < ~$4.50/Kg• Thermal stability at > 400 °C• Compatible with alloys and materials used
in solar plants• Other physical properties compatible with
the solar application

Summary and Conclusions
• Cost goals can be met with an organic salt• When a viable candidate is identified the
production process must be optimized

Overall Observations
• We may have pushed the upper temperature limit of imidazolium salts as high as possible with anions – Further improvements may require changes in the imidazolium ring substituents
• A 300 °C salt appears to be within reach• We will begin some work on alternative
types of organic salts and mixtures

THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA
ConclusionsMaterials used in solar plant technology such as 316 stainless steel alloy, 1018 carbon steel and gray cast iron were found to be outstanding in corrosion resistance (corrosion rates: <20 µm/yr) against ionic liquids at RTLocalized corrosion was observed on the surface of the materials exposed to [C4mim]Cl ionic liquidThe potentiodynamic tests showed in most cases an active/passive corrosion behavior. However, the ionic liquid [C4mim]Cl prevented the formation of stable passive films

T stability of Ionic Liquid Mixture from One-Step Synthesis
![Page 42: advanced_fluids.pdf](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052701/563db937550346aa9a9b2634/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Conclusions
• Imidazolium salts offer flexibility in ‘designing’ melting point and thermal stability
• PF6 salts are ‘easy’ to prepare and purify, and are probably
least expensive
• Onset T for thermal decomposition must be determined carefully. Kinetic data are needed for evaluation of long-term T stability
• Reactivity of ANION has strong influence on T stability
• Structure of imidazolium CATION appears to have less
influence, but more work is needed
• Influence of IMPURITIES on T stability of ionic liquids is not completely understood and is case-dependent.
• Intermediate chloride salts in synthetic route must be
avoided due to residues in final ionic fluid (corrosion)
• One-Step Synthesis of ionic liquid mixtures:
a) no chloride residues b) lower ‘complexity’ of synthetic process for ionic
fluids
c) possibly lower production cost
d) synthetic methods must be optimized
• Can alternative ionic liquids be developed other than the imidazolium salts ?
