Chromium(III) Oxide의 용해반응 특성 연구
A Study on the Dissolution Reaction Characteristics of Chromium(III) Oxide
가압경수로 일차계통내에서 생성되는 부식 산화물중 약 40 %를 차지하는 크롬산화물은 산화적 용해방법에 의해 제거될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 저농도 화학제인 NP(Nitric Acid/
Permanganate) 방법에 의한 Cr2O3의 용해반응 특성을 bulk상의 농도와 온도조건이 일정하게 유지된 회분식 용해조에서 Cr2O3 입자를 사용하여 살펴보았다. Cr2O3 입자의 용해반응은 반응 생성층을 통한 확산지배의 "unreacted-core shrinking model"로 실험 오차 범위내에서 잘 나타낼 수 있으며 실험 범위내에서 반응 속도상수는 bulk상 MnO4- 농도에 반비례하였고, 수소이온 농도와 온도에 비례하였으며, 용해반응속도식은 다음과 같은 실험식으로 정량화할 수 있었다.
KDt = 1-3(1-X)2/3+2(1-X)
KD = 6⁓10-3 exp(-2470/T)[MnO4-]-1.23[H+]0.5
Chromium oxide, amounting to about 40 % of the total corrosion oxides formed within the primary coolant system of Pressurized Water Reactor, can be removed by an oxidative dissolution. The study of dissolution reaction of chromium(III) oxide was carried out with a stirred batch-type dissolver under constant concentration and temperature of bulk phase during the reaction using relatively small amount of chromium(III) oxide particles and dilute nitric acid/permanganate solution.
An unreacted-core shrinking model with ash diffusion control was found to predict the dissolution behaviour of chromium(III) oxide particles satisfactorily in the experimental error range. Overall dissolution reaction rate constant of the above model, KD, being inversely proportional to the bulk phase MnO4- concentration while being proportional to hydrogen ion concentration and temperature, was expressed by the following experimental correlation within the experimental range.
