- Summary
- The Thermal Cycling Absorption Process (TCAP) will be used in the Replacement Tritium Facility (RTF) and 232-H Tritium Facility for separation of hydrogen isotopes. These TCAP units will be filled with palladium deposited on kieselguhr (Pd/k) that has been heat treated to reduce particle breakdown and sieved to remove particles smaller than 50 mesh (300μm). Pd/k ordered for several applications in the RTF, including TCAP, was received at SRL in April 1989. Shortly thereafter, flow restriction caused by breakdown of the Pd/k particles was detected during operation of a TCAP unit in the Advanced Hydride Laboratory (AHL). Subsequent research at SRL showed that heating Pd/k at 1100°C in air for 2 hours greatly reduces mechanical breakdown. Based on these favorable results, sufficient Pd/k was heat treated to fill RTF and Building 232-H TCAP units. 11 refs., 11 figs., 7 tabs.
