Latest Patents
Patricia Vaz holds a patent for a process aimed at reducing the corrosion of components within a nuclear facility. The patent, titled "Process for reducing the corrosion of a component of a nuclear facility, and component of a nuclear facility," describes a method where a protective layer is produced using a sol-gel process. This process involves removing water that wets the component from the conduction system and optionally drying the component before applying the sol. After the sol-gel process, the conduction system is refilled with water, and a liquid sol film is dried, particularly using hot air. This method allows for the coating of components in the primary system of a boiling water reactor with a highly corrosion-resistant zirconium oxide protective layer.
