THE DISTILLATION PILOT PLANT (in French)

Journal Article · · Bull. inform. sci. et tech. (Paris)
OSTI ID:4142709
The pilot plant at Toulouse for the distillation of liquid hydrogen is described. The plant is fed with a synthetic gas from which the hydrogen is purified, liquefied, and distilled. The product of the fractional distillation is HD, which is catalytically converted into a gaseous mixture containing H/sub 2/ , HD, and D/sub 2/. This mixture is again distilled. The deuterium product, which has a deuterium concentration of 99.98%, is then compressed in bottles or burned to make heavy water. The hydrogen depleted in deuterium is mixed with the products retained during purification to form the synthetic gas, which is then sent to the ammonia production plant. The plant also produces deuterium-free hydrogen and helium. (tr-auth)
