CONDUCTIVITY OF THORIA POWDER IN CARBON DIOXIDE ATMOSPHERE. Technical Report No. 13

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4833853
Carbon dioxide was adsorbed on pellets pressed from thoria powder (22.8 m/sup 2//g) and the conductivity isotherms determined at temperatures between 250 and 500 deg C in a d-c electric field. The conductivity isotherms are explained by two parallel resistances, one consisting of bulk conduction controlled by the particle-to-particle contacts and the other consisting of ionic conduction along the surface of the pores. A theoretical interpretation of the results is given. (auth)
