| Popis: |
The selective absorption and recovery of hydrogen isotopes in an inert gas at 400 °C and their desorption at 800 °C were experimentally investigated using a zirconium particle packed bed. The gases used were H 2 -Ar, D 2 -Ar and H 2 -D 2 -Ar mixtures. The absorption rates of the hydrogen isotopes were found to be fast enough for this absorption method to be used as a hydrogen recovery process in the fuel cycle of a fusion reactor. The length of the absorption zone for D 2 in the zirconium bed is about twice that for H 2 . The hydrogen isotopes in the H 2 -D 2 -Ar mixture break through in the sequence D 2 , HD and H 2 . This is believed to be because the absorption rate and solubility of H 2 are greater than those of D 2 . The experimental results for the desorption of hydrogen isotopes are described fairly well by Fick's diffusion equation for a zirconium particle. |
