Study of tritium removal from fusion reactor blankets of molten salt and lithium--aluminum

Description

The sorption of tritium by molten lithium--bismuth (Li--Bi, approx. 15 at. % lithium) and solid equiatomic lithium--aluminum (Li--Al) was investigated experimentally to evaluate the potential applications of both materials in a controlled thermonuclear reactor. The Li--Bi alloy was proposed to countercurrently extract tritium from a molten salt (Li2BeF4) blanket. However, because of the low solubility (< 10 ppB) at temperature ranging from 500 to 7000C, the extraction process is not attractive
