PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF WATER OR HYDROGEN ENRICHED WITH DEUTERIUM

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4052146

A continuous process is outlined for the production of hydrogen impoverished in deuterium and water and/or hydrogen enriched in deuterium. In this process, the isotope exchange step is carried out by passing liquid water containing a finely divided cathlyst with hydrogen to an isotope exchanger at a temperature below 100 deg C and at a pressure >30 atm. The catalyst is then removed from the enriched water, and some of the water is returned to the hydrogen producer for the production of enriched hydrogen, which is then supplied to the isotope exchanger. The hydrogen may be produced from carbon-containing compounds and water or by electrolysis by water. (D.L.C.)
