Pratt, H R.C.

A hydrogen isotope exchange process for the production of deuterium- enriched hydrogen, water, ammonia, or other hydrogen-containing compound is described. The process consiats of operating a dual-temperature hydrogen isotope exchange process to produce deuterium-enriched compounds relative to the feed of the exchange process, subjecting the water, hydrogen, or ammonia to further enrichment by a distillation process, and recycling the deuteriumdepleted waste from the distillation process to the dualtemperature exchange process. From the enriched hydrogen products obtained, heavy water may be obtained by conventing the products by known processes. (N.W.R.)
