THE EFFECT OF PILE RADIATION ON THE CARBON DIOXIDE-GRAPHITE REACTION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4325110
The effect of pile radiation on the decomposition of CO/sub 2/ and on the reaction between CO/sub 2/ and graphite has been studied in apparatus in BEPO. In the absence of graphite slight decomposition of CO/sub 2/ to CO and O was found. In the presence of graphite the formation of CO was greater, no O was found, and the rate of reaction was dependent on the volume of gas irradiated immediately upstream of the graphite. The radiation steady-state carbon monoxidecarbon dioxide composition has been approached from CO/sub 2/ rich and CO rich mixtures and, in the apparatus used has been shown to lie between 0.034% and 0.6% CO in C0/sub 2/ at a total pressure of one atmosphere.
