Description
There are various gas components in the exhaust gas of the D-T fusion reaction. All of the hydrogen isotopes are recovered and reused as fuel, and the remaining components are released to the environment. Before releasing to the environment, all substances containing trace amounts of Q2 and Q (such as CH4) must be recovered. An oxidation / adsorption process can be used for this purpose. By adding O2 to the feed gas, the Q component is converted into Q2O by the oxidation reaction, and the generated H2O is removed by the adsorbent.
In this study, the removal efficiency of Q2 and CQ4 by oxidation reaction was investigated. H2 and CH4 were used as feed gas and Pt was used as reaction catalyst. The removal efficiencies of H2 and CH4 were measured by varying the reaction temperature, feed flow rate and concentration. And the effect of various impurities on the oxidation reaction was also investigated.
