British colleagues discovered a few years ago that mixing the two powders forms a transparent liquid able to dissolve metal oxides and heavy metals, called
deep eutectic solvent (DES).
In their aim to find an improved absorbent for cleaning the air, the researchers focused their attention on deep
eutectic solvents.
It uses lead, or a lead - bismuth
eutectic mixture, as the working fluid instead of water.
Each van will be equipped
with eutectic refrigeration panels — filled with brines and a refrigerant gas — that will be re-charged every night to retain their low temperature during the day.
«But with
eutectic freezing, the concentrations go up so fast that they more than make up» for the difference.
Fast reactor concepts are typically classified by their coolant — i.e., sodium - cooled fast reactor (SFR); lead - or lead -
bismuth eutectic (LBE)- cooled fast reactor (LFT); and gas - cooled fast reactor (GFR).

Another interesting material:
eutectic alloys, whose melting point is well below that of the components.
We used
nontoxic eutectic gallium - based alloys as a reaction solvent and co-alloyed desired metals into the melt.
Determination of Thermal Physical Properties of Alkali Fluoride /
Carbonate Eutectic Molten Salt
The researchers measured their partition coefficients between the vapour and liquid phases for seven different deep
eutectic solvents.
According to Moura, there are many reasons why
deep eutectic solvents should be considered when it comes to cleaning air.
She says that, in general, deep
eutectic solvents are easier to prepare and more biodegradable than potentially toxic ionic liquids.
The melting point of a deep
eutectic solvent is significantly lower than that of each of its individual components.
Deep
eutectic solvents are made by mixing two compatible components together to form a resulting liquid product at room temperature.
And Stanley Miller likely had
the eutectic effect in mind when he stowed his now famous samples in a freezing chamber full of dry ice and acetone.

Eutectic Solvent, The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, (2015.)
The indicator of that fact is this: Amalgam fillings are 50 % Hg and 50 % what's called
a eutectic mixture consisting of copper, tin, silver, and zinc, so there should be 50 % Hg in the removed filling.
There is point in mixing allows called
the eutectic point where the mix of alloys becomes one and their lattice structures intertwine and they become «one».
The salt is made from a lithium fluoride salt with some other trace salts to form
a eutectic mixture that melts at about 460 C.
