A method for the preparation of orthohydrogen and paradeuterium is descnibed. Hydrogen containing more than 99% orthohydrogen was prepared by a three-stage adsorption--desorption of normal hydrogen (75% ortho) on alumina at 20.4 deg K and at a pressure of 50 mm of Hg. By a two-stage adsorption-- desorption under the same conditions, deuterium containg 76% paradeuterium was prepared from normal deuterium (33.33% para). (auth)
