THE STOICHIOMETRY OF THE RADIATION INDUCED REACTION BETWEEN CO$sub 2$ AND GRAPHITE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4837892
The relationship between CO production and graphite weight loss in the radiation-induced reaction between CO/sub 2/ and graphite has been examined in a gas circulation system in the DIDO reactor. In very few instances is there any simple relationship between CO production and graphite weight loss. The initial rate of CO production is affected by the number of unoccupied active free sites on the graphite surface, and by low concentrations of CO. Experiments using C/ sup 14/ indicate that considerable loss of CO occurs probably due to radiolysis. The rate of carbon transport to the gas phase is affected by the addition of CO in the range 0.2% to 5%. (auth)
