SOLUBILITY OF CARBON IN SODIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4031489
The solubility of carbon in sodium in the temperature range 600 - 950 deg C may be expressed by the equation log sol (ppm) = 7 (center dot) 20 - 5465/T deg K. From plots of carbon activity versus concentration, and from observations that oxygen does not effect carbon solubility, it is proposed that carbon dissolves in sodium as single atoms.
