APPARATUS FOR EXTRACTING HYDROGEN FROM OXYGENLESS GAS MEDIA Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G21C9/00 G21C9/06 B01D53/86 B01J23/00 

FIELD: physics, atomic power.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means of providing safe operation of heat-transfer loops of liquid metal cooled nuclear reactors. The apparatus for extracting hydrogen from oxygenless gas media includes a housing 1, a reaction chamber 3 placed inside said housing, encircling a distribution pipe 2 and having at least one perforated section 4 filled with granules 5 of an oxygen-containing material, a pipe 7 for feeding an oxygenless gas medium containing hydrogen into the reaction chamber and a pipe 8 for feeding an oxygen-containing gas medium into the housing for restoring oxidative properties of the oxygen-containing material, connected to an inlet pipe 2, an outlet pipe 9 for outlet of spent gas medium from the reaction chamber and an operating mode switching system comprising three shut-off valves, the first 10 of which is installed on the pipe 7 for feeding the hydrogen-containing oxygenless gas medium, the second 11 - on the pipe 8 for feeding the oxygen-containing gas medium and the third 12 - on the outlet pipe 9.

EFFECT: invention improves the efficiency of removing gaseous hydrogen from an oxygenless hydrogen-containing gas medium in liquid metal cooled nuclear reactors.
