A study was made of the dissolution of metallic Cd in an equimolecular mixture of KCl and NaCl. From the dissolution rates which were calculated for the diffusion of Cd in the melt, it was deduced that the diffusivity was equal to 2.7 x 10-5cm2/s at 690C and a composition of 0.018mol%Cd. The diffusivity was equal to 3.04 x 10-5cm2/s at 730C and a composition of 0.02mol%Cd.
