Abstract
Hydrogen isotope permeation through liquid Sn (SnL) supported by solid metals (M = Fe, Ni, V, F82H, and Pd) was examined at constant temperatures from 473 to 773 K and pressures from 0.67 to 93 kPa. The interaction between SnL and the supporting metal substrate formed an intermediate alloy (IA) layer at the interface due to corrosion caused by the chemical reactions of SnL with M. The SnL/M systems were categorized into two types according to the overall deuterium permeation behavior. In the SnL/Fe and SnL/Ni systems, the IA layer was crucial in governing the overall deuterium permeation flux. In the SnL/Pd system, deuterium permeation was strongly suppressed by the IA layers, whereas in the SnL/V and SnL/F82H systems, the rate-determining step for the overall deuterium permeation flux was the SnL layer. The SnL/V system exhibited the highest deuterium permeation flux, which was less affected by the formation of the IA layer. This result highlights the potential of V and its alloys as membrane windows for tritium extraction from SnL by permeation.
