Abstract: | Since some combustible, oxidative and reductive chemicals are used in the extracting process in the nuclear reprocessing plant the process has potential hazards of a fire and explosion due to the undesired reaction. In this study to obtain a better understanding of the thermal properties of hydrazine in nitric acid solution which is used for preventing the oxidation of extracted plutonium, thermal analysis was carried out for the mixtures in various conditions. From the results of DSC it was revealed that the vessel material has an influence on the thermal decomposition of hydrazine. It was also found that hydrazine reacted with nitric acid in an autocatalytic manner, and concentration of nitric acid has a strong influence on the thermal hazard of hydrazine and nitric acid mixtures. |
