Chemistry Division Semiannual Progress Report for Period Ending June 20, 1955

Description: Continued work on the adsorbability of metal complexes from concentrated LiCl solutions and LiCl-HCl mixtures on a strong-base anion-exchange resin further demonstrated the much higher adsorbability of these complexes from LiCl solutions than from HCl solutions. The effect is believed to be due to the formation of less strongly adsorbed undissociated chloro-complex acids in the case of the HCl solutions.

The Choice in Thorium Oxide Slurries for the Prevention of Caking in Circulating Systems

Description: A qualitative theory for cake formation in ThO2 slurries is presented. The sphere formation which occurs in "Standard" slurry can be explained on the same basis. The irregular and unpredictable yield strength is easily fitted into the theory. On the basis of this theory, the writer has been led to the conclusion that only colloidally stable slurries, or slurries with crystallites or comminution-resistant particles which are large enough to overcome colloidal effects (probably larger than 0.1u) … more

The Combination of Hydrogen and Oxygen in Platinum Catalyzed Flow Reactions

Description: An extension of the concepts advanced by Langmuir regarding the nature of the platinum catalyzed oxidation of hydrogen and the application of the resulting theory to the experimental data observed by Ranschoff and Spiewak for an HRE type recombiner indicates that their data are corrected by the dimensionless equation (see report) equally well, with a mean deviation of 3.8 percent. This expression is recommended as a basis for the design of catalytic recombiners. The catalytic combinations is pi… more

A Combined Distillation-Electrochemical Method for Recovery of Hydrofluoric Acid

Description: Electrodialysis in an ion-exchange membrane cell was shown to be technically feasible for the concentration of an azeotropic mixture of HF and water. A flowsheet is presented for recovery of anhydrous HF by distillation and electrodialysis of the azeotropic residue. In the electrodialysis step, 2.6 kwhr of energy per pound of anhydrous product was consumed, with electricity at 1¢ per kilowatt-hour, the total operating cost of the electrodialysis equipment alone, including amortization, would be… more

Comments on the Transportation of Irradiated Fuel and Radioactive Wastes for M Louis Armand, Euratom Group

Description: General considerations involving the transportation of irradiated fuel and radioactive wastes are reviewed. It is assumed that many reactors will supply feed to a few large multipurpose chemical plants which ultimately send radioactive waste to a few disposal sites. General economic considerations of irradiated fuel reprocessing, economic aspects of the nuclear economy complex, growth predictions of the nuclear power economy in the U.S., general requirements for the shipment of fuel and waste, … more

A Comparison of Elementary Criticality Calculations with Experimental Results

Description: Several experiments have been performed at ORNL with light water solutions of uranyl nitrate (highly enriched in either U^233 or U^235) in an essentially bare sphere 27 inches in diameter. This report presents the results of several calculations with elementary bare reactor theory and a discussion of the observed discrepancies between the calculated and experimental results. If the observed critical concentration is used in the calculations, the calculated effective multiplication constant is l… more

Comparison of the Thermal Conductivity, Electrical Resistivity, and Seebeck Coefficient of a Hight-Purity Iron and Armco Iron to 1000 [degrees] C

Description: The thermophysical properties of Armco iron such as thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, and Seebeck coefficient have been extensively investigated and reviewed up to 1000 degrees C. Few investigations of such properties have been made on high purity iron. If such a study is made using the same apparatus to determine the properties of two purity levels of iron, then several significant intercomparisons can be made which add meaning to data on a single material. The systemic errors for … more

Compatibility Tests of Various Materials in Molten Sodium

Description: Several compatibility test of various materials in contact in sodium under 500 psi pressure were conducted for 716 hr at 1500 F. Of the diffusion couples studies, the Inconel-beryllium system showed the largest amount al alloying. The reaction between molybdenum and beryllium resulted in the formation of two compounds, both of which were severely cracked in several areas. The molybdenum-INOR #8, and the INOR #8p type 316 stainless steel interfaces showed little if any alloying.

Control System for HRT Cooling Water

Description: The circuits described herein and shown functionally in Fig. 1 are to be added to the HRT control circuit to provide control and protection for the revised HRT cooling water system. The circuitry will provide protection against excess pressure in the demineralized cooling water loop and cooling water activity, will initiate action to insure containment of activity in event of an explosion and will provide emergency cooling water from the tower basin when required.
