Abstract

The effect of ambient gas on measurements with microwave-assisted laser-induced plasma in microwave-assisted laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (MA-LIBS) was studied with relevance for the analysis of nuclear fuel. A pelletized gadolinium oxide (Gd O ) sample, which was used as a simulated nuclear fuel, was irradiated by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser (532 nm, 5 mJ) coupled with microwaves (2.45 GHz, 400 W) under various gases of air, Ar, and He. Microwaves can be effectively used to enhance laser-induced plasma emissions. The emission spectrums of Gd obtained by MA-LIBS in Ar and He gases are much better than those of the air case. Namely, the spectral lines can be clearly identified and are far from molecular bands. Furthermore, the emission intensity is highest with low

background emissions. Linear calibration curves of Ca in the concentration range between 0 and 500 mg/kg as an impurity in Gd O have been successfully obtained in all gases. The detection limits of Ca impurity in air, Ar and He gases were 2, 0.8 and 0.6 mg/kg, respectively, which are much lower than the required limits of Ca impurity in nuclear fuels. © 2016, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.

Thermal and mechanical properties of irradiated poly(vinyl chloride)/calcium carbonate composite

Abstract

A composite consisting of PVC and CaCO

₃

particles was irradiated with different doses of Gamma rays or electron beam in order to compensate the tensile strength decreases by filler addition. The deployment of irradiation process on the composite improved significantly the tensile strength by about 10–20 % using E-beam and Gamma irradiation at a dose of 250 kGy, respectively. Moreover, the irradiated composite exhibited higher thermal stability.

Two thermal dehydrochlorination processes after irradia- tion have been observed instead of three thermal process before. The calculation of the activation energy of each step showed that initiation step consumed about 60 % of the used energy.

Introduction

Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is considered as one of the large produced polymers due to its low cost fabrication, chemical resistance, electrical insulation properties, and abrasion resistance [1]. However, it has low impact strength and a thermal stability inferior to other thermo- plastics, which caused some restrictions on its uses.

Therefore, various chemical compounds were used as additions to improve some physical properties of PVC, as plasticizers [2,

3], antioxidant [4], and flame retardant fil-

lers [5,

6]. Moreover, recent studies report also an

improvement in the thermal and mechanical properties of PVC by adding some inorganic fillers as: silica [7], titania [8], vanadium pentoxide [9] and calcium carbonate [10].

PVC with calcium carbonate (CaCO

₃

) considered as good polymer/filler composite for the industrial application due to the improvement in the physical properties of PVC and the low cost of filler. It could be created by several ways, especially by two common methods: the first method is based on mechanical process (dry mixing) by adding coupling agent [10,

11] or by surface treatment of the

particles before mixing [12], and the second is chemical process (solvent mixing) by adding them during the syn- thesis of PVC [13].

It observed that the effects of the CaCO

₃

filler on the mechanical properties of PVC composite depended on the particles size, form (ground CaCO

₃

, Talc), surface treat- ment and the weight fraction of filler [6,

10,12,14,15]. An

increase in the impact strength of the PVC/CaCO

₃

was observed with decreasing the particles size of CaCO

₃

[10,

16], whereas tensile strength was decreased with increasing

the loading and the particles size [10,

14,17].

Moreover, HCl is produced during the thermal dehy- drochlorination (degradation) of PVC polymer causing inferior thermal stability comparing to other polymers [18,

19]. In addition, CaCO₃

was appeared as potential filler to improve this thermal stability, where it can react with HCl released during the thermal degradation of PVC [20,

21].

As well as, the particles size was found to affect the degradation onset [22].

The reduction in the tensile strength of the composite PVC/CaCO

The impact of various ion chromatography parameters on the separation of trace amounts of thulium from erbium was examined to address the need for the preparation of a

Introduction

The measurement of neutron capture cross sections for many actinide and lanthanide isotopes is crucial to the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and the weapons laboratories mission of science based stockpile stewardship [1,

2]. Lanthanide isotopes were commonly

used as radiochemical detectors during nuclear weapons testing in order to obtain a detailed interpretation of post- detonation performance. Additionally, the neutron capture cross sections for many lanthanide isotopes are relevant to astrophysics to facilitate an improved understanding of elemental production in stars due to their vital role as branching point nuclei in the s-process [3]. These branch- ing points are critical in understanding the isotopic abun- dance of elements in the universe and the neutron density in stars [4]. Hence, accurate measurements are required for numerous lanthanide isotopes, which either have not been investigated in the past or have high uncertainties associ- ated with the currently reported neutron capture cross section values. One of these lanthanide isotopes of interest is

To obtain sufficient quantities of target material for a cross section measurement, this thulium isotope can be produced through neutron irradiation of isotopically enri- ched

Tm can pose difficulties in performing such measurements, the Detector for Advanced Neutron Capture Experiments (DANCE) located at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) allows for accurate neutron capture cross section mea- surements with only a few milligrams of target material [6]. In support of such an experiment, a
