Abstract

Atmospheric humidity in the surroundings of A-1 atomic power station is taken off by means of an absorption equipment in order to measure natural tritium concentration in atmosphere. Atmospheric water is reduced with Mg at 580°C, and hydrogen obtained is used for catalytic hydrogenation of acetylene. Optimum conditions of ethane preparation in dependence of temperature, molar ratio of the components, flow rate and the number of hydrogenation cycles when using the new selective nickel catalyst 40-01 are reported.
