Removal of oxides from sodium and tests for the oxide content

  • Published:
The Soviet Journal of Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

Oxides present in sodium,used as a heat carrier, accelerate the corrosion of the ducts and may cause blockage of the coldest sections of the circuit. The article gives the results of tests on cold oxide traps and work on an apparatus for determining the oxygen content in sodium. The results of the work can be used for planning experimental and industrial apparatuses in which sodium or sodium-potassium alloys are used as heat carriers.
