1results about How to "Uniform oxidation" patented technology

This invention discloses a modular, controllable atmosphere high-temperature oxidation device for the recovery of substandard sponge zirconium, relating to the fields of nuclear fuel cycle and materials technology. The device includes: a furnace body system, comprising, from the outside to the inside, a steel outer shell, a refractory insulation layer, and a detachable furnace liner; multiple independently controlled heating zones arranged along the furnace body axis, each equipped with an independent heating element and thermocouple; an atmosphere control system including nitrogen and oxygen sources, an inert gas source, a mass flow controller, and a mixer; a sealing and cooling system employing a high-temperature sealing ring and a double-layer furnace shell design, with circulating cooling water flowing through the interlayer; and an automatic control system equipped with a temperature-atmosphere-time automated control program for fully automated operation and remote monitoring of the oxidation process. The device provided by this invention can achieve efficient and uniform oxidation treatment of irregular porous sponge zirconium within the range of 500-1000℃, transforming it into zirconium oxide with consistent physical properties.
