lookingforheat publish a method to pretreat nickel powder "à la bolognese"

Quote from Alan Smith

In this short paper, www.Lookingforheat.com present an accessible low-pressure Nickel pre-treatment technique for consideration and comment. Be aware that process is presented as a first step only, and does not preclude or exclude further treatments.Buying odd bottles of unlabelled wine, little is certain about its storage history, grape variety, fermentation style or vintage. Such wine may have been made last week or in the last millennium, cellared in ideal conditions or left sitting by a steam-pipe in a hot kitchen. Unlike the wine buyer, we seek uniformity, not variety. ‘Corked’ Nickel is bad Nickel.

This process considered macroscopically is meant to reduce surface oxidation, moisture content, and volatiles left over from the manufacture. We think of this process as a basic ‘washing’ method. At the sub-microscopic level, it may as a bonus change both the physical form of the particles and incorporate at least some Hydrogen into the Nickel clusters. These photographs are not ‘studio shots’, but taken in a rather crowded, busy lab as the process was carried out for the first time. Improvements to the equipment, gas seals and valves based on this experience are in hand.

Step 1. Heat Ni powder at 300C under vacuum for 1 hour, shaking flask every five minutes.
Step 2. Break vacuum by flooding flask with dry Hydrogen gas at atmospheric pressure while Ni is hot. Leave one hour to cool.
Step 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for a total of 3 cycles.
Step 4. Store under Hydrogen until required for use.

How to pre-treat, fill and seal fuel cores in 10 simple steps:

• Pre-bake empty fuel core in oven at 800C for 30 minutes to remove moisture and de-gas.(You can do this in your reactor or – as we do – in a small furnace.)
• Allow fuel core to cool down to room temperature
• Carefully funnel prepared fuel mix into core
• (If you want, add a gas such as dry Hydrogen into the core)
• Squeeze a ceramic wool insulation pellet into core to protect fuel powder from reacting with wet cement
• Seal the core by squeezing Parkhomov cement into the top.
• Apply Parkhomov cement onto a 5mm screw then use it to push the ceramic wool further into the core
• Attach tape around screw to fix its position until the cement dries a little
• Leave to dry for 2 hours under room temperature
• Bake cores in oven at 200C for 1 hour to finish curing the cement
