AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a standalone salt bath capable of reaching temperatures up to 600°C, with dimensions of approximately 1 foot tall and 0.5 feet wide at the base. They are specifically looking for a metal container equipped with a heating element suitable for melting lithium nitrate (LiNO3) and potassium nitrate (KNO3). Recommendations for online sources or manufacturers that provide such equipment are requested. Additionally, a suggestion was made regarding a 60:40 mix of sodium nitrate to potassium nitrate as a potential solution for achieving the desired temperature.

I'm talking more of a metal container with a heating element that I can just put the salt into. I will be melting LiNO3 and KNO3.
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
