Due to the more volatile nature of 210Po in relation to 210Pb, an imbalance of activity concentrations in high temperature combustion processes can be observed, especially in fine particulates (diameter < 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 μm).

The paper is devoted to development of methods for studying the dynamics of high-temperature combustion of aluminum nanopowder.The difficulty in studying the combustion of nanopowders is the high temperature and intensity of light emissionduring the combustion process, which makes the visual observation virtually impossible.The paper discusses various schemes using laser radiation to study the combustion processes of metal nanopowders.Particular mentions the use of the laser monitor based on an active medium on copper bromide vapor to study the combustion process of various powders and mixtures.The laser monitor combines the functions of the narrow-band laser illuminator and the brightness amplifier, thereby achieving the visualization at a narrow gain wavelength. Therefore, the laser monitor can be used to observe the changes in the surface of a burning sample with high temporal and spatial resolution.

The paper describes problems of using fly ash in concrete. Using fly ash produced during high temperature combustion in power plants as addition for concrete has been known since the 60s of the past century. The Standard EN 206 Concrete - Specification, performance, production and conformity characterizes high temperature combustion fly ash as an addition of the type II, i.e. active addition with pozzolanic properties. Use of fly ash as an active addition also enables partial replacement of cement. The paper solves the extent of cement which can be replaced with fly ash in this manner. Influence of addition of fly ash on consistency of concrete, development of compressive strength and elasticity modulus at the age of 7, 28, 60 and 90 days of concrete are observed.

The radioactivity of 3H of the metal samples from the nuclear sites was analyzed by using a commercialized high temperature furnace and a Liquid Scintillation Counter (LSC). The 3H activity of the sample was measured according to the duration of the high temperature combustion and the oxidation temperature. Basically, the recovery from the furnace was 90% for 3H and the LSC had a quenching efficiency of approximately 30 %. HNO3 was used as a trapping solution for 3H and the solution was cocktailed with a scintillator. The activity extracted from the sample was increased till the combustion time elapsed 60 minutes and the increasing rate was reduced continuously thereafter at 600 °C whereas 80% of radioactivity was extracted during the first 15 minutes at 900 °C. Also, the pretreatment for the metal sample, which included a high temperature combustion and trapping, had the time required of at least four hours at 900 °C. Finally, it was suggested that this high temperature combustion method could be applied to analyze the activity of the radioactive metal waste from the nuclear power plants.
