Bimetallic Diffusion Membranes: Possible Use For Active Hydrogen Recycling Control

  • Chapter
Hydrogen and Helium Recycling at Plasma Facing Materials

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 54))

Abstract

The advent of fusion devices has brought the problems associated with the interaction of hydrogen isotopes with structural materials. One of these problems is the necessity of an active control over the hydrogen isotope recycling process, including pumping (removing) and puffing (inflowing) systems of work gas. In this connection, numerous investigations of hydrogen behavior in different materials and in a plasma volume were carried out. The studies of materials modified by thin films are a very important part of these investigations, as they open up a highly efficient way for hydrogen kinetics control, in particular, for effective change of hydrogen permeation behavior. The bimetallic diffusion membranes, which consist of a rather thick (0.1–0.5 mm) Pdsubstrate and a thin (1–10 μm ) film deposited on its surface, might be very convenient for an active control of a hydrogen isotope density near plasma facing surfaces [1] . In the case of an active hydrogen recycling control, such membranes can provide different regimes: with high recycling coefficient (gas puffing through membrane) and with a low recycling coefficient (hydrogen pumping by the membrane).
