| Research Abstract |
The effect of tritium water on the corrosion behavior of metal materials has been studied. It was found that hydrogen was produced by the corrosion reaction at the metal surface, and the hydrogen diffused into the metal. In the case where tritium is in water, the formation of a protective film against the corrosion was prohibited: larger amount of oxygen dissolved in water is required to form the film. The durability of polymer membrane of electrolyze of WDS (Water Detritiation System) has been studied. No major change in strength of the membrane was observed up to 1000 kGy irradiation by beta ray. The strength of the membrane was decreased by immersing it into tritium water. This behavior could not be ascribed to the effect of radicals by radiological reaction of tritium water. A hydrophobic catalyst has been tested for oxidation of tritium and organic tritium. A set of basic experiment of the oxidize reaction has been carried out. A series of tests of chemical exchange column of WDS has been carried out. A separation factor of 19200 was obtained for H-T system (packed height: 100 cm, flow rate of hydrogen: 5000 cc/min). A simulation code of the column has also been successively developed. Some analytical studies have been carried out by using this code. The behavior of tritium water vapor in some organic materials has been studied. The activation energy of permeation, diffusion, and enthalpy of dissolution were -5.0 kJ/mol, 29 kJ/mol, and -34 kJ/mol for polyimide; 5.2 kJ/mol, 41 kJ/mol, and -36 kJ/mol for cellulose; 10 kJ/mol, 40 kJ/mol, and -30 kJ/mol for polypropylene. It was found that hydrogen was trapped in a oxidize film at stainless steel surface and its bulk. The hydrogen trapped was released by heating the stainless steel, and the release behavior was affected by the decomposition of the film.
