摘要
在水基提取钚铀回收(PUREX)后处理方法中,ti - 2级作为核废料后处理的候选溶解剂材料。氟化物用于增强高燃耗燃料的溶解。然而,已知氟化物会严重降低商业纯Ti (CP-Ti)在硝酸后处理中的腐蚀行为。本文主要通过电化学和沸腾硝酸研究,了解了ti级2溶解体材料在含有氟离子的硝酸介质中,在11.5 M和1 M HNO3条件下,有和没有络合剂Al(NO3)3的腐蚀行为。动电位极化结果表明,在11.5 M HNO3 + 0.05 M NaF溶液中,与11.5 M HNO3相比,活性腐蚀电位较低,耐蚀性较差,无源电流密度较高。在11.5 M HNO3中,随着温度的升高和氟浓度的增加,耐蚀性能的下降更为明显。在这种酸浓度下,在所有条件下都观察到自发钝化行为。相比之下,1 M HNO3中氟的存在导致了主-被动转变,其特征是腐蚀电位的负移动和被动电流密度的增加。研究发现,在含氟化物和络合剂的硝酸介质中,钛的缓蚀效果很好。沸腾硝酸试验中,1 M HNO3 + 0.05 M NaF溶液的腐蚀速率明显高于11.5 M HNO3 + 0.05 M NaF溶液。SEM, XPS和AFM分析支持这些发现。提出了氟化物在1 M和11.5 M硝酸浓度下影响CP-Ti耐蚀性的腐蚀机理。此外,本研究为在涉及硝酸和氟化物的核后处理环境中使用CP-Ti作为溶解剂材料提供了有价值的见解。
Corrosion behavior of Ti-Grade2 dissolver material in nitric acid containing fluoride ions
The Ti-grade2 is used as the candidate dissolver material for reprocessing the nuclear-spent fuels in the aqueous-based Plutonium Uranium Recovery by EXtraction (PUREX) reprocessing method. Fluoride is used to enhance the dissolution of high-burn-up fuel. However, fluoride is known to severely degrade the corrosion behaviour of commercially pure Ti (CP-Ti) in reprocessing nitric acid. The present work focuses on understanding the corrosion behaviour of Ti-grade2 dissolver material in nitric acid medium containing fluoride ions with and without complexing agent Al(NO3)3 at 11.5 M and 1 M HNO3 by electrochemical and boiling nitric acid studies. The potentiodynamic polarization results revealed inferior corrosion resistance with active corrosion potential and higher passive current density in 11.5 M HNO3 + 0.05 M NaF compared to 11.5 M HNO3. Moreover, the deterioration of corrosion resistance was more pronounced with increasing temperature and fluoride concentration in 11.5 M HNO3. Spontaneous passivation behavior was observed under all conditions tested in this acid concentration. In contrast, the presence of fluoride in 1 M HNO3 induced an active-passive transition, characterized by a negative shift in corrosion potential and an increase in passive current density. Corrosion mitigation of titanium was found to be effective in a nitric acid medium containing fluoride and a complexing agent. A significantly higher corrosion rate was observed in 1 M HNO3 + 0.05 M NaF compared to 11.5 M HNO3 + 0.05 M NaF during the boiling nitric acid test. SEM, XPS, and AFM analyses supported these findings. The corrosion mechanism by which fluoride influences the corrosion resistance of CP-Ti in both 1 M and 11.5 M nitric acid concentrations was proposed. Additionally, this study provides valuable insights for the use of CP-Ti as a dissolver material in a nuclear reprocessing environment involving nitric acid and fluoride.
