Description

Lithium oxide content was quantitatively analyzed by the acid-base titration method following hydrogen gas measurement for evaluating metal conversion rate of spent nuclear fuel in DOR(direct oxide reduction) process. The main error was estimated to come from the sample weighing step in glove box and hydrogen gas measurement step. Weighing 200 mg sample in glove box gave 1.6% error, and measuring hydrogen gas showed big standard deviation equivalent to 4 - 10% value of measured hydrogen volume. The analysis process of lithium oxide was effectively improved by understanding the causes of error and its impacts
