Abstract

The objectives of this report are to measure the H{sub 2}O outgassing kinetics of TR55 silicon after a few hours of vacuum pumping; and to make H{sub 2}O outgassing kinetic predictions for TR55 at low temperatures in a vacuum/dry environment.

Kinetic measurement and prediction of the hydrogen outgassing from the polycrystalline LiH/LiOH system

Dinh, L N ; Grant, D M ; Schildbach, M A ; ...

In this report, we present the use of temperature programmed reaction/decomposition (TPR) in the isoconversion mode to measure outgassing kinetics and to make kinetic prediction concerning hydrogen release from the polycrystalline LiH/LiOH system in the absence of any external H{sub 2}O source.

Kinetic and Prediction of Hydrogen Outgassing from Lithium Hydride

Dinh, L N ; Schildbach, M A ; Smith, R A ; ...

In most industrial or device applications, LiH is placed in either an initially dry or a vacuum environment with other materials that may release moisture slowly over many months, years, or even decades. In such instances, the rate of hydrogen outgassing from the reaction of LiH with H{sub 2}O can be reasonably approximated by the rate at which H{sub 2}O is released from the moisture containing materials. In a vacuum or dry environment, LiOH decomposes slowly with time into Li{sub 2}O even at room temperature according to: 2LiOH(s) {yields} Li{sub 2}O(s) + H{sub 2}O(g) (1). The kinetics of the decompositionmore »« less

Kinetic measurement and prediction of the hydrogen outgassing from the polycrystalline LiH/Li2O/LiOH system

Dinh, L N ; Grant, D M ; Schildbach, M A ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Due to the exothermic reaction of lithium hydride (LiH) salt with water during transportation and handling, there is always a thin film of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) present on the LiH surface. In dry or vacuum storage, this thin LiOH film slowly decomposes. We have used temperature-programmed reaction/decomposition (TPR) in combination with the isoconversion method of thermal analysis to determine the outgassing kinetics of H{sub 2}O from pure LiOH and H{sub 2} and H{sub 2}O from this thin LiOH film. H{sub 2} production via the reaction of LiH with LiOH, forming a lithium oxide (Li{sub 2}O) interlayer, is thermodynamically favored, withmore »« less

Measurement and Prediction of H2O Outgassing Kinetics from Silica-Filled Polydimethylsiloxane TR55 and S5370

Dinh, L N ; Burnham, A K ; Schildbach, M A ; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology A, vol. 25, no. 3, May 1, 2007, pp. 597-600

The isoconversional technique was employed for the measurement and prediction of H2O outgassing kinetics from silica-filled polydimethylsiloxane TR55 and S5370 in a vacuum or dry environment. Isoconversional analysis indicates that the energy barrier for H2O release from TR55 and S5370 is an increasing function of the fractional H2O release. This can be interpreted as the release of H2O from physisorbed water and then chemisorbed water with decreasing OH density from the surfaces of the embedded silica particles. Model independent predictions of H2O outgassing based on the measured kinetics follow the trend of actual isothermal outgassing at elevated temperatures, and suggestmore »« less

Transport assessment - arid: measurement and prediction of water movement below the root zone

Gee, G.W. ; Kirkham, R.R.

The amount of water transported below the root-zone and available for drainage (recharge) must be known in order to quantify the potential for leaching at low-level waste sites. Under arid site conditions, we quantified drainage by using weighing lysimeters containing sandy soil and measured 6 and 11 cm of drainage for a 1-yr period (June 1983-May 1984) from grass-covered and bare-soil surfaces, respectively. Precipitation during this period at our test site near Richland, Washington, was 25 cm. Similar drainage values were estimated from neutron probe measurements of water content profile changes in an adjacent grass-covered site. These data suggest thatmore »« less
