Development of the reactor lithium ampoule device for research of spectral-luminescent characteristics of nuclear-excited plasma

At the present time the direct nuclear energy conversion into optical radiation is realized in gas media in which filling of energy levels takes place in the low-temperature plasma (nuclear-excited plasma) induced by ionizing radiation. The research of optical radiation of the nuclear-excited plasma induced by products of nuclear reactions is interest for development of an alternative outlet method of energy from the nuclear reactor, creation of control and regulating bodies for parameters of nuclear reactors as well as creation of one of diagnostics of high-temperature plasma in fusion reactors. The purpose of this work was to obtain new experimental data about processes of nuclear energy conversion into optical radiation with the optimal gas media having high coefficient of nuclear energy conversion into optical radiation and also with a possibility of outlet method of energy from the nuclear reactor core. In this article, description of the reactor experimental bench (LIANA) and the experiment scheme, the irradiating ampoule device (AD) with surface source of charged particles is provided, and the procedure of reactor experiment is presented. This paper presents the results of the reactor experiments of studying the spectral-luminescent characteristics of unary noble gases (Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe) and binary Kr-Xe gas mixture in a 200–975 nm spectral range with ionization gaseous media by products of 6Li(n,α)T nuclear reaction under irradiation at research water-cooled heterogeneous reactor (the IVG.1M).

This work is devoted to testing a lithium CPS based on carbon fabric reinforced with carbon nanotubes under conditions of thermal and radiation loads. The paper considers and analyzes: the properties of carbon nanotubes and methods of their synthesis, the nature of the interaction of carbon materials with liquid lithium at different temperatures. A description of all the main stages in the manufacture of lithium CPS based on carbon fabric reinforced with carbon nanotubes is given. Microstructural studies of a manufactured lithium CPS sample based on carbon fabric reinforced with carbon nanotubes are presented. Studies have shown that a carbon fabric with a fiber surface reinforced with carbon nanotubes is completely wetted by liquid lithium. The developed technology is fully suitable for the manufacture of lithium CPS samples for further research. The results of experiments on the interaction of lithium CPS based on graphite fabric reinforced with carbon nanotubes with hydrogen isotopes under thermal and radiation loads are presented.

Ionic liquids (ILs) such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C 4 mim][PF 6 ]) are considered suitable coextraction reagents of tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) for selective extraction of lithium from magnesium-rich salt lake brine. However, ILs are very expensive and the loss of cations can cause the contamination of the aqueous solution. The corresponding inorganic salts of ILs such as sodium hexafluorophosphate (NaPF 6 ) should play the same role as ILs in the extraction of Li + by TBP, and importantly, they are cheaper and more environmentally friendly. In this study, the effects of NaPF 6 concentration, phase ratio, initial pH of the aqueous phase, temperature, and MgCl 2 concentration on the extraction of lithium were investigated. It was found that NaPF 6 was as good as [C 4 mim][PF 6 ] in the extraction of Li + from Mg-rich solution by TBP, and their extraction mechanisms are also the same, which is certified by comparing the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and slope analysis. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is more effective than sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 ) in the stripping of Li + , but Na 2 CO 3 can avoid the regeneration of the organic phase and increase the reusability of both TBP/ [C 4 mim][PF 6 ] and TBP/NaPF 6 systems.The contributing editor for this article was Grace Ofori-Sarpong.
