Description

The ZrCo1-xNix-D2 systems were investigated in this study by generating the deuterium desorption pressure-composition isotherms (PCIs) in the temperature range of 524-603 K using Sievert's type volumetric apparatus. A van't Hoff plot was constructed using plateau pressure data of each PCI and the thermodynamic parameters like enthalpy and entropy change for desorption of deuterium in the ZrCo1-xNix-D2 systems were calculated. A comparison of data obtained in this study with the hydrogen PCIs data reported in an earlier study revealed that these alloys show normal hydrogen isotope effect where the equilibrium pressure of D2 is higher than that of H2 at all experimental temperatures.
