TESTS OF A PLATINIC ACID-THORIUM HYDROXIDE CATALYST FOR HYDROGEN-OXYGEN RECOMBINATION. Technical Report No. 11

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4837973
Tests were run using a platinic acid and a platinic acidthorium hydroxide catalyst, both with and without inert thoria present. The catalysts without inert thoria were observed to deteriorate in activity with repeated runs. Those with inert thoria present increased in activity with repeated runs indicating platinum redistribution onto the inert thoria. The platinic acid- thorium hydroxide catalyst with thoria was the most active, reaching a Catalytic Performance Index (CPI) plateau value of about 6200 watts/ml. (auth)
