“…The IR spectroscopy of molten salts or slags has been investigated by transmission of a metal screen soaked in molten salts, the emission from molten salts, attenuated total reflection (ATR), diffuse reflection of the support materials soaked in molten salts, coagulated powder samples, and so on. [11][12][13][14] The requirements for the IR measurements of molten salts are (1) heating to high temperature over the melting point, T m , (2) holding of a molten liquid sample, (3) the inert environment especially for hygroscopic salts, and (4) a chamber made of corrosion-resistant materials. ATR measurement is generally and successfully used for liquid samples.…”
