Аннотация:Dinitrogen oxide N2O (nitrogen hemioxide) is one of the harmful components of the off-gases during the reprocessing of spent nitride fuel. It enters the gas phase during the dissolution of nitride fuel in nitric acid and denitration of high-activity raffinate or the bottom solution from the evaporation of intermediate-level wastes. The preferred method of neutralizing it is high-temperature catalytic decomposition. Compositions based on gamma-aluminum oxide coated with catalysts were found previously. One of the compositions was checked on a semi-industrial setup. The efficiency of N2O decomposition was studied as a function of temperature. It was established that almost complete decomposition occurs at 465-480 degrees C. The specific rate of N2O decomposition at 425-480 degrees C was found as a function of the initial concentration. It is shown that for constant initial concentration of N2O the specific decomposition rate is almost the same in the investigated temperature interval.
