Publication number: 20140064427Abstract: At the time of loss of coolant accident, when station blackout occurs, hydrogen, radioactive nuclides, and steam are discharged from a broken portion of a pipe connected to a reactor pressure vessel into the primary containment vessel. A passive autocatalytic hydrogen treatment apparatus installs a catalytic layer and heat exchanger tubes of a heat exchanger in a casing. High-temperature steam including hydrogen and radioactive nuclides is supplied into the heat exchanger tubes and heats gas supplied into the casing 3. The steam is condensed in the heat exchanger tubes and generates mists. The mists are removed by a mist separator together with the radioactive nuclides. The gas including hydrogen fed from the mist separator in the casing is heated by the aforementioned steam and is introduced into the catalytic layer. Hydrogen is combined with oxygen in the catalytic layer to steam.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2013Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: HITACHI-GE NUCLEAR ENERGY, LTD.Inventors: Kenji NOSHITA, Taichi TAKII, Shingo ODA, Hidehiro IIZUKA

Publication number: 20090148357Abstract: Use of a metallic material containing chromium as a substrate of an exhaust gas purifying catalyst has a problem that the chromium contained in the substrate migrates to a catalytically active component and reacts with the catalytically active component to reduce exhaust gas purification performance. Thus, a film which inhibits the chromium contained in the substrate from migrating is arranged on the substrate's surface. The film is desirably formed by oxidizing a substrate in the air. It is also desirable that a substrate containing aluminum therein be oxidized to cause aluminum contained in the substrate to separate out and thereby form an alpha-alumina film. The film is preferably such that, when the exhaust gas purifying catalyst is heated at 850° C. in the air for 300 hours, the amount of chromium migrated to the catalytically active component is controlled to 0.5 percent by weight or less based on the catalytically active component.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2005Publication date: June 11, 2009Inventors: Masato Kaneeda, Hidehiro Iizuka, Norihiro Shinozuka, Masahiro Sakanushi, Kimihiro Tokushima, Hiroki Hosoe, Masayuki Kasuya, Toshio Iwasaki, Shogo Konya

Patent number: 7438866Abstract: A catalyst for use in purifying exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine. The active components of an exhaust gas purification catalyst for an internal combustion engine tend to be melted or softened and then to move outside the carrier, because the components become in contact with exhaust gas at a high temperature. Hence, anchoring materials are provided between carriers in order to suppress the moving of catalytically active components. Anchoring materials 22 do not form compounds with catalytically active components 24, and are selected from substances that do not melt even in contact with exhaust gas at a high temperature. When the active components contain sodium, potassium, cesium, lithium, strontium, barium, noble metals and the like, the best anchoring material is MgO. The anchoring material functions as a barrier that prevents the moving of active components.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2001Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hidehiro Iizuka, Mariko Okude, legal representative, Masato Kaneeda, Hisao Yamashita, Yuichi Kitahara, Osamu Kuroda, Kojiro Okude
