Engineering scale tests of an FFTF fission gas delay bed
Description
The dynamic adsorption coefficient of 85Kr on activated charcoal from a nitrogen carrier gas was measured at -80 and -1200C at pressures of zero and 30 psig. The effects of the presence of impurities in the nitrogen carrier gas (1 percent oxygen, and 100 vppm carbon dioxide) on the adsorption coefficient of 85Kr were also measured. The 85Kr adsorption coefficient increased with decreasing temperature, and increased with increasing pressure. The presence of oxygen and carbon dioxide impurities in the nitrogen carrier gas had no discernible effect upon the adsorption coefficient. The adsorption coefficient for 85Kr from nitrogen gas was lower than for adsorption of 85Kr from an argon gas stream. The work concluded a test program which provided design data for the fission gas delay beds which will be installed in the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF). (U.S.)
