METHOD FOR THE CONTINUOUS ENRICHMENT OF HEAVY WATER IN HOT-COLD COLUMNS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4111802

The method described for the continuous enrichment of heavy water by isotopic exchange between water and a circulating gas in hot-cold columns comprises the cooling of the gas by mixing with water in counter current in a heat exchanger before it enters the cold column. Prior to passing into the heat exchanger the water is saturated with the gas used for the isotopic exchange. A detailed description of the flow diagram is given. (Gmelin Inst)
