Molten Salts Discussion Group

The Molten Salts Discussion Group (MSDG) has been actively involved in the field of ionic liquids, at high and room temperature, for almost 50 years. 

The Group holds two meetings every year, one in the summer and one just before Christmas: these meetings cover a wide range of non-aqueous chemistries including inorganic and organic molten salt chemistry, properties and applications of ionic liquids, glass chemistry, molten and solid electrolyte fuel cell technologies, battery applications, inorganic gas phase chemistry, geochemistry, electrochemistry, slags, metal refining, thermodynamics and chemical modelling.

The MSDG provides a network of experienced scientists to offer professional advice to other members. The Group actively encourages younger scientists working in the field of high and low temperature molten salt chemistry and membership of the Group provides numerous benefits.

Membership offers reduced registration fees for all MSDG Conferences as well student bursaries to attend other molten salt related meetings in the UK and abroad.

More details of our activities can be found at the MSDG website (follow link below) or within MyRSC (you will have to register before gaining access, but you need not be a RSC member).
