Study on 3D Pore Characteristics of Carbon Materials in HTGR by Micro-CT and HPMI Methods by Shengchao Ma, Zhenzhong Zhang, Kaiyue Shen, Xuedong He, Jun Li, Huaqiang Yin, Xingtuan Yang, Shengyao Jiang

“…These materials would absorb moisture and other impurities when exposed to the environment, and these impurities (especially moisture) absorbed in the carbon material must be removed before the reactor operation to prevent corrosion reaction at high temperature (more than 500°C). As the pore microscopic structure characteristic is the significant factor affecting the gas adsorption and flow in the porous materials, the detailed 3D pore structures of the carbon materials (BC and IG-110) in HTGR were studied by Micro-XCT and HPMI methods in this paper. …”
