Thermodynamic and Kinetic Aspects of Oxygen - Hydrogen Interactions in Liquid Sodium

  • Chapter
Material Behavior and Physical Chemistry in Liquid Metal Systems

Abstract

Sodium hydroxide is an important intermediary in the sodium-water reaction (1): Na + H20 → NaOH + 1/2 H2 (1) The kinetics of its decomposition in sodium and the magnitude of the interaction between hydrogen and oxygen in solution in sodium to give an association product which is normally assumed to be sodium hydroxide are of interest in LMFBR technology.
