Experimental study on full-scale ZrCo and depleted uranium beds applied for fast recovery and delivery of hydrogen isotopes

TL;DR: In this paper, a thin double-layered annulus bed configuration was adopted and full-scale beds loaded with ZrCo and depleted uranium (DU) for fast recovery and delivery of hydrogen isotopes were fabricated.

Effects of temperature and hydrogen pressure on the activation behavior of ZrCo

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of temperature and hydrogen pressure on the activation behavior of ZrCo were systematically investigated, and it was found that initial evacuation at temperature higher than 300°C was clearly beneficial to the subsequent hydrogenation process.

Hydriding and dehydriding characteristics of small-scale DU and ZrCo beds

TL;DR: In this paper, two identical small-scale getter beds for a comparison of ZrCo with DU on the hydriding/dehydriding properties were designed and fabricated.

Effect of Mn substitution for Co on the structural, kinetic, and thermodynamic characteristics of ZrCo1−xMnx (x=0–0.1) alloys for tritium storage

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of Mn substitution for Co on the alloy microstructure, initial activation behavior, hydrogen storage kinetics and thermodynamics was investigated, and it was observed that the initial activation time (uptake to 95% of saturated hydrogen capacity) decreases from 63.73h to 0.24h as the Mn content increases from x = 0 to x ≤ 0.1.

Recovery of hydrogen isotopes using a uranium bed

TL;DR: In this paper, a breakthrough experiment was used to investigate the recovery of hydrogen isotopes from contaminated inert gases by using a reactive uranium powder bed column under various conditions, and the breakthrough curve can be described by Meienschein's gas phase mass-transfer-limited model.

Development of a gas chromatographic system for hydrogen isotope separation

TL;DR: In this article, two GC techniques were optimized or developed in the pilot system, namely, the heart-cutting technique for removing the hydrogen-containing species from a fusion fuel and the temperature programming technique for separating all six hydrogen isotope species.

Collection of deuterium on a uranium getter during dynamic flow conditions

TL;DR: In this paper, a special segmented trap was designed to prevent channeling and to promote maximum reaction rates when gas flows through it, and the gas mixtures were sampled at the trap inlet and outlet and were analyzed by a mass spectrometer.
