Title: HEAVY WATER PRODUCTION--DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN AND WATER ENRICHED IN HEAVY WATER

Abstract

A process which produces H/sub 2/ water enriched in D is described. Natural gas is oxidized to CO and H/sub 2/. These gases at 600 C reduce FeO in a fluidized bed regenerator, and the mixture of gases leaving the regenerator is burned in the boiler which supplies steam at 600 C. This steam reacts with iron dust from the regenerator to produce FeO and H/sub 2/ The deuterium is stripped from the H/sub 2/ with water in a catalytic exchange tower. The water thus enriched passes to an electrolytic step which concentrates D/sub 2/O to 99.8%. (T.R.H.)
