CATALYST FOR RECOMBINING HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN FROM THORIUM OXIDE SLURRIES

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4633751

A recombination catalyst is prepared by refluxing ThO/sub 2/, obtained by calcination of Th oxalate, in an aqueous Pd nitrate solution containing at least 0.05 g Pd per g ThO/sub 2/ until a sol is formed, followed by treatment of the sol with hydrogen until the sol is completely converted into a flocculated suspension. The recuperated solid is added to ThO/sub 2/ slurry blankets, a convenient Pd/ThO/sub 2/ ratio in the blanket being 1: 1000- 1: 10000. (NPO)
