A column packed with pellets of copper plated LaNi{sub 4.25}Al{sub 0.75} has been evaluated for its separation efficiency using a displacement method. Deuterium breakthrough curves were produced experimentally and compared with those calculated with a stage model. The height equivalent to a theoretical plate was attained and its dependence on temperature and gas flow rate was established. 6 refs., 4 figs.
