Extraction and determination of hydrogen in uranium and zirconium; Extraction et dosage de l'hydrogene dans l'uranium et le zirconium

Abstract

The method of desorption under vacuum at high temperatures in the solid phase, which gives good results in the case of steels, has been applied to uranium and zirconium. In these two metals hydrogen is found mainly in the form of hydride. It is chiefly a question of determining the most suitable temperature and the heating time necessary to obtain an almost total extraction of hydrogen. Two considerations must be taken into account in the choice of temperature. It should be such that on the one hand the hydride decomposes rapidly and completely at the reduced pressure applied, and on the other hand the diffusion of hydrogen through the metal takes place fairly quickly. The apparatus and the method used are described; systematic tests have led to the adoption of temperatures of 650 deg. C for uranium and 1050 deg. C for zirconium.

Dans ces deux metaux, l'hydrogene se trouve surtout a l'etat d'hydrure. Il s'agit essentiellement de determiner la temperature optimum et la duree du chauffage necessaire pour obtenir une extraction d'hydrogene pratiquement complete. Deux considerations interviennent dans le choix de la temperature. Elle doit etre telle que, d'une part la decomposition de l'hydrure se fasse rapidement et completement sous la pression reduite realisee et d'autre part que la diffusion de l'hydrogene a travers le metal soit assez rapide. L'appareil et le mode operatoire utilises sont decrits des essais systematiques ont conduit a adopter une temperature de 650 deg. C pour l'uranium et de 1050 deg. C pour le zirconium. (auteur)}
