Apparatus for the continuous separation of metal vapors or metal aerosols in liquid form from gases, in particular sodium vapor or droplets from the propellant gas of a nuclear-cooled nuclear power plant.

摘要

Method for continuously precipitating liquid metals from gases, and especially precipitating sodium from protective gas of sodium cooled nuclear power plants in which the sodium is present in finely distributed and dissolved form includes the steps of heating the gas bearing the liquid metal to a temperature above the saturation temperature thereof, and then cooling the gas bearing the liquid metal to a temperature still exceeding the solidification temperature of the liquid metal; and apparatus for carrying out the method.
