Cylindrical cartridge for regulation of metal ions in aqueous solution, particularly for use in nuclear reactor control systems

摘要

A novel cylindrical cartridge for the extraction of metal ions from aqueous solutions comprises: (i) an activated carbon fabric electrode (2); (ii) a current sensor (3); (iii) a counter electrode (4); (iv) an entrance and an exit to the cartridge by which the solution to be treated can pass through the system. The electrode (2) is laid out such that the solution moves tangentially on the surface of fabric to ensure the trapping of the metal ions. An Independent claim is included for the use of the cylindrical cartridge for the regulation of lithium ions in the primary fluid of a nuclear reactor.
