A new type of windowless spectrophotometric cell for use with molten fluoride salts and other corrosive liquids was developed. By means of this cell, called a captive liquid cell, light is transmitted through the side of a vertical column of liquid which is held in a metal cylindrical container of special design. No window material or mirrors are necessary to the operation of the cell. The path length of liquid samples held in this cell is independent of the weight, or volume, of sample initially placed in the cell but is postulated to be dependent on the surface tension and density of the liquid. Based on absorbance measurements in 0.250-inch (0.635-cm) OD cells, the path length of aqueous solutions is 0.68; the path length of the molten eutectic, LiF--NaF-- KF, at 540 deg C is 0.77. The standard deviation of both these measurements is plus or minus 0.02 cm. The cell was used for spectrophotometric studies of molten fluoride salts. It should also be useful for spectrophotometric studies of other corrosive solutions and molten salts in their liquid states up to temperatures well over 1000 deg C. With the advent of high intensity monochromatic light sources, such as lasers, themore » cell seems ideally suitable for use in the field of Raman spectrometry. (auth)« less
