Physics and chemistry of beryllium

Abstract: Quantum chemistry using the density matrix renormalization groupThe combination of properties of beryllium which results in this very low Z element being a candidate for use in fusion reactors is reviewed. The occurrence, availability, and processing of beryllium from both bertrandite (domestic) and beryl (imported) ores are described. The available beryllium grades are characterized. The purity level of these grades, which are all unalloyed in the usual sense, is presented in detail. The crystallographic fact… Show more

“…Due to the lack of sulfide minerals to generate acid and the abundance of limestone at Spor Mountain, low pH conditions are unlikely associated with the deposit. However, the Be extraction process from bertrandite ores involves acid leaching at high temperature using sulfuric acid (Stonehouse, 1986). Thus, such ore-processing practices could potentially lead to Be discharge to surface water and groundwater in the vicinity of the ore-processing facility.…”

“…Therefore, beryllium can provide a high performance-breeding blanket for fusion systems. 5 The absorption cross section for thermal neutrons is 0.008 barns d ; the scattering cross section for fast neutrons is 6 barns. 28 The resonance integral e is 0.004 barns.…”

“…As a result of its low density, high melting point, nuclear properties, and stability, beryllium is used in aerospace, ceramics, electronics, nuclear energy and defense, metal recycling industries, dentistry, and even sporting goods [1]. Up to temperatures of 1534 K and pressures of 12 GPa, beryllium crystal is hexagonal closed packed (HCP) [2,3].…”
