Pourbaix diagrams for mixed metal oxides

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5618987
Thermodynamic information for copper compounds and aqueous species, including estimated values at elevated temperatures, is analyzed. Potential-pH diagrams (Pourbaix diagrams) for the Cu-H/sub 2/O, Fe-H/sub 2/O and Fe-Cu-H/sub 2/O systems are presented and the solubilities of copper and iron oxides (including mixed copper-iron oxide) are evaluated. These results are used to interpret the observed precipitation of oxides on BWR fuel and to estimate the effect of hydrogen water chemistry on their behavior.
