Abstract
Powder reactor fuels, e.g. mixed crystals of powdered UC-ThC or UC2-ThC2, are coated with carbon in a reaction space by subjecting the fuels, held suspended in a fluidized bed, to the action of a hydrocarbon gas, e.g. methane, <PICT:1017089/C6-C7/1> using at least one pipe through which the fluidizing medium is passed, at a temperature (e.g. 1400-2200 DEG C.) sufficient to liberate carbon by decomposition, the gas being admixed with a carrier gas, e.g. argon, so as to maintain the temperature inside the pipe below the decomposition temperature of the hydrocarbon gas. The pipe may be cooled conventionally. The coating may be carried out in the apparatus shown in the Figure wherein the ring pipe assembly 4 consisting of a pipe 5, a ring 6 and a cap 7, made of high-melting metal, e.g. tantalum, is arranged at the inlet of the reaction space 1 surrounded by a graphite casing 2, the pipe 5 being connected to an inlet tube 8 for the hydrocarbon gas K and the ring 6 being connected to an inlet tube 9 for the carrier gas T so that the carrier gas flowing through the annular gap 10 cools the pipe 5. The tube 9 may also be surrounded concentrically by water cooling tubes, 12, 13, the casing being surrounded by a heating element 14.ALSO:Powder reactor fuels, e.g. mixed crystals of powdered UC-ThC or UC2ThC2, are coated with carbon in a reaction space by subjecting the fuelds, held suspended in a fluidized bed, to the action of a hydrocarbon gas, e.g. methane, using at least one pipe through which the fluidizing medium is passed, at a temperature (e.g. 1400-2200 DEG C.) sufficient to liberate carbon by decomposition, the gas being mixed with a carrier gas, e.g. argon, so as to maintain the temperature inside the pipe below the decomposition temperature of the hydrocarbon gas.
