A
"bed reactor" is a term used in chemistry and engineering. It refers to a container or vessel where a chemical reaction takes place while the reactants (ingredients) are in a bed-like form, such as particles or granules. These reactors are designed to optimize the reaction conditions and make the process more efficient and effective.
Full definition
What kind of timeline do you for see for getting something like a
pebble bed reactor operational in Australia?
China has or is building heavy - water reactors from Canada, «evolutionary» pressurized - water reactors from France, pebble -
bed reactors tested in South Africa, and even is working on reactors that would use molten salt for cooling and thorium for fuel.
The same gas - phase process can be applied in a rotary or fluidizing
powder bed reactor to grow nanometer - thick films that are highly conformal and uniformly thick on individual particles.
That is still a viable option, in fact more so today, because new systems, such as the pebble
bed reactors produce considerably less waste.
Manufacturers should pursue even safer, meltdown - proof designs that they have experimented with but shelved, such as liquid fluoride thorium reactors and pebble
bed reactors.
This is a fluidized
bed reactor, an energy - generation technology that has been used for decades to power paper mills and waste - treatment plants but that had never before been installed in an ethanol plant.
In heterogeneous processes, palladium is fixed to a hard substrate in a pack -
bed reactor, and the reagents are run through the reactor.
Based on our e-mail exchange today I am suggesting you do an update or impose on your paper to do a serious update on the pebble
bed reactor.
Pebble
bed reactors have a high enough temperature that they can combine water and CO2 into liquid fuels in the future.
The technologies have names like molten salt reactors, pebble
bed reactors and fast reactors.
