EFFECT OF OXIDE ADDITIONS ON THE CATALYTIC RECOMBINATION OF H$sub 2$, O$sub 2$ IN THORIA SLURRIES. Technical Report No. VIII

A method of incorporating impurity elements as oxides in a thorium oxide lattice is described. The influence of these impurity elements on the catalytic recombination of hydrogen and oxygen is discussed. A method of increasing the catalytic activity by adsorbing platinum on thoria particles is given. Comparison of the rates obtained in this report is made with data obtained by other investigators.
