A thorium-doped catalyst for the high temperature shift reaction
(2002)
The reforming of natural gas feedstock in the presence of steam is the main industrial route to produce high purity hydrogen. However, this process also produces carbon oxides which can poison most hydrogenation catalysts ...
Point defects in thorium nitride: A first-principles study
(Elsevier Science, 2016-07)
Thorium and its compounds (carbides and nitrides) are being investigated as possible materials to be used as nuclear fuels for Generation-IV reactors. As a first step in the research of these materials under irradiation, ...
Estudo do tratamento de um residuo de torio e terras raras por cromatografia de extracao

Modeling of oxygen incorporation in Th, ThC, and ThN by density functional theory calculations
(Elsevier Science, 2017-12)
Oxygen incorporation in nuclear fuel materials is an important issue deserving investigation due to its influence on thermophysical and structural properties. Even if there has been a renewed interest in thorium and thorium ...
Computational study of protactinium incorporation effects in Th and Th compounds
(Korean Nuclear Soc, 2020-10)
Protactinium contamination is a mayor issue in the thorium fuel cycle. We investigate, in this work, the consequences of Pa incorporation in vacancy defects and interstitials in Th, ThC and ThN. We calculate charge transfers ...
