Influence of CO_(2) inleakage on the slight-alkalization of generator internal cooling water

The slight-alkalization of generator internal cooling water(GICW)is widely used to inhibit the corrosion of hollow copper conductor and thereby ensure the safe operation of the generator.CO_(2) inleakage is increasingly identified as a potential security risk for GICW system.In this paper,the influence of CO_(2) inleakage on the slight-alkalization of GICW was theoretically discussed.Based on the equilibriums of the CO_(2)-NaOH-H_(2)O system,CO_(2) inleakage saturation was derived to quantify the amount of the dissolved CO_(2) in GICW.This parameter can be directly calculated with the measured conductivity and the[Na+]of GICW.The influence of CO_(2) inleakage on the slight-alkalization conditioning of GICW and the measurement of its water quality parameters were then analyzed.The more severe the inleakage,the narrower the water quality operation ranges of GICW,resulting in the more difficult the slight-alkalization conditioning of GICW.The temperature calibrations of the conductivity and the pH value of GICW show nonlinear correlations with the amount of CO_(2) inleakage and the NaOH dosage.This study provides insights into the influence of CO_(2) inleakage on the slight-alkalization of GICW,which can serve as the theoretical basis for the actual slight-alkalization when CO_(2) inleakage occurs.

A more precise method to evaluate kinetic leakage of anion exchange resin used in condensate polishing of power plant

Sulfate mass transfer coefficient(MTC) is a sensitive parameter to evaluate the kinetic leakage of anion exchange resin used in condensate polishing system of thermal and nuclear power plant.However,a sufficiently precise determination method has not been well established.In this paper,the final expression of sulfate MTC derived based on plug flow reactor model is the same as Harries' model,which is widely acknowledged in this field.In the determining system we constructed,in-situ calibration of the concentration of sulfate and its cation conductivity was conducted and sulfate MTCs of four typical strongly basic anion exchange resin samples were determined.The systematic error is 8.26% and the calibrated curve used for quantifying sulfate is obtained.The repeatability and reproducibility standard deviation are 0.05×10^(-4) m·s^(-1) and 0.07×10^(-4) m·s^(-1) respectively,which are lower than previous works.By controlling test condition accurately,this study has developed a more precise sulfate MTC determining method.This method provides a basis for further research.
