Characterisation of boric acid aerosol behaviour and interactions with stainless steel

Abstract

Experiments have been conducted to determine the physical characteristics of boric acid aerosol. Aqueous solutions of boric acid (either 200 or 2000 ppm boron) were injected at a controlled rate onto a 304 stainless steel cone held at 1000{sup o}C. The transport and deposition of the resulting aerosol was studied through a system including pipework and a dilution chamber. Work was also undertaken to characterise the interaction between boric acid and stainless steel. Boric acid was vaporized in steam-argon atmospheres at 300{sup o}C and passed over 304 stainless steel coupons held at temperatures between 400 and 1000{sup o}C. (author).
