ABSTRACT:
A closed cycle Brayton direct contact reactor/storage tank uses a chemical scrubber to assist in removing metal vapors from the working fluid. The direct contact reactor/storage tank operates by bubbling an inert gas through liquid metal fuel. The inert gas picks up metal vapors from the fuel. The chemical scrubber is comprised of a reducible material contained within a filter at the top of the reactor/storage tank. The reducible material on reacting with the metal vapor forms components that are solids at the operating temperature and pressure, thereby preventing metal vapor from circulating throughout the system as part of the working fluid and causing damage to system components.
