Catalysts for Recombination of Radiolytic Gases Over Thorium Oxide Slurries
Description:
Catalysts for use in recombining the gases produced by the radiolytic decomposition of water in thorium oxide slurries under neutron irradiation were investigated in out-of-pile tests using stoichiometric mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen. Most favorable results were obtained with a molybdenum oxide catalyst. Satisfactory rate also were attained with palladium and silver oxides. Copper, nickel, vanadium and chromium compounds were less effective.
