Embodiment 1

[0028] Take by weighing 60Kg of natural graphite, 15Kg of carbon black, and 25Kg of boron carbide as powder. A mixed aqueous solution of PVA and PEG is prepared, the concentration of the mixed aqueous solution is 2 wt %, and the mass ratio of PVA:PEG is 3:2. Add the weighed powder into the mixed aqueous solution with a mass ratio of 1:3, stir for 2 hours, and mix well. The resulting slurry was subjected to spray granulation at a granulation temperature of 300° C. to obtain a granulated powder of 800 microns. Put the granulated powder into a rubber sheath and carry out isostatic pressing molding with a molding pressure of 250 MPa and a holding time of 10 minutes to obtain a boron carbide-containing graphite ball green body with a diameter of about 6.5 mm. Carbonize the boron carbide-containing graphite ball green body under the protection of nitrogen, raise the temperature to 800°C at a rate of 3°C per minute, keep it warm for 4 hours, and then cool down naturally. Grinding t...

[0030] Weigh 55Kg of natural graphite, 20Kg of carbon black, and 25Kg of boron carbide. A mixed aqueous solution of PVA and PEG is prepared, the concentration of the mixed aqueous solution is 2 wt %, and the mass ratio of PVA:PEG is 3:1. Add the weighed powder into the mixed aqueous solution with a mass ratio of 1:3, stir for 2 hours, and mix well. The resulting slurry was subjected to spray granulation at a granulation temperature of 300° C. to obtain a granulated powder of 800 microns. Put the granulated powder into a rubber sheath and carry out isostatic pressing molding with a molding pressure of 250 MPa and a holding time of 10 minutes to obtain a boron carbide-containing graphite ball green body with a diameter of about 6.5 mm. Carbonize the graphite ball body containing boron carbide under the protection of nitrogen, raise the temperature from 4°C to 850°C per minute, keep it warm for 4 hours, and cool down naturally. Grinding the obtained graphite balls improves the ...

[0032] Weigh 70Kg of natural graphite, 20Kg of carbon black, and 10Kg of boron carbide. A mixed aqueous solution of PVA and PEG is prepared, the concentration of the mixed aqueous solution is 2 wt %, and the mass ratio of PVA:PEG is 3:2. Add the weighed powder into the mixed aqueous solution with a mass ratio of 1:3, stir for 2 hours, and mix well. The resulting slurry was subjected to spray granulation at a granulation temperature of 300° C. to obtain a granulated powder of 800 microns. Put the granulated powder into a rubber sheath and carry out isostatic pressing molding with a molding pressure of 250 MPa and a holding time of 10 minutes to obtain a boron carbide-containing graphite ball body with a diameter of about 10.5 mm. Carbonize the boron carbide-containing graphite ball green body under the protection of nitrogen, raise the temperature to 900°C at a rate of 3°C per minute, keep it warm for 4.5 hours, and cool down naturally. Grinding the obtained graphite balls im...

Abstract

The invention relates to a neutron absorption ball which is prepared by the following method: the carbon material and neutron absorption material are mixed to form powder material, the powder material is added to the mixed water solution of PVA and PEG to prepare slurry for atomization granulation, and then the neutron absorption ball is prepared after atomization granulation, isostatic pressing,carbonization, high temperature treatment and surface packaging treatment. The invention adopts graphite as the main raw material, has less exotic impurities and ensures the sample to have high purity so as to meet the use requirement of the neutron absorption ball; the sample with PVA as bonding agent has great improvements on blank strength and mechanical strength; besides, PVA is nontoxic, environment-friendly and is easy to crack and discharge, has low price, is applicable to atomization granulation technique and meets the large-scale industrial production requirement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of nuclear reactors, in particular to a neutron absorbing ball. Background technique [0002] As a clean, safe and environmentally friendly energy source, nuclear power generation is of great significance to alleviating the energy security of the world and various countries and global climate change. Despite the setbacks caused by accidents at the Three Mile Island in the United States and the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the former Soviet Union, people are still actively developing safer and more economical nuclear power generation technologies. At present, the third-generation nuclear power technology has basically matured. [0003] In the fourth-generation nuclear energy system under development, the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor can achieve a very high outlet temperature, has high power generation efficiency and high-grade heat supply capacity, and has attracted widespread attention. [0004] High-temp...
