Oxidation reaction of rare earth chlorides(Ce/Pr/Nd/EuCl3) in a LiCl-KCl eutectic molten salt was carried out using an oxygen sparging method. Regardless of the sparging time and the molten salt temperature, oxychlorides (NdOCl, PrOCl) and oxides(CeO_2, Eu2O3, PrO2) were formed as a oxidation products(i.e. precipitates) by the reaction with oxygen. The conversion efficiency of the rare earth elements to the precipitates increases with the sparging time and the molten salt temperature. In the conditions of 650 ℃ of a molten salt temperature and 420 min of a sparging time, the values of the conversion efficiency of the used rare earth chlorides were over 99.9%. Information on the hydrodynamics of an oxygen-molten salt two phase flow system is essential since its hydrodynamics strongly affect the oxidation reaction of rare earth elements in an eutectic chloride melts.
