PROPOSAL OF A NEW METHOD FOR THE SEPARATION OF HYDROGEN AND DEUTERIUM BY CHEMICAL EXCHANGE BETWEEN SIMPLE HYDROGEN COMPOUNDS AND PALLADIUM HYDRIDE AND PALLADIUM DEUTERIDE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4336746
The application of H isotope exchange between Pd hydride and deuteride solid solution amd water to a dual temperature process for the production of D/ sub 2/O is discussed. Theoretical separation factors were estimated for the H/ sub 2/O-Pd/sub 2/D exchange and NH/sub 3/ -- Pd/sub 2/D exchange and compared with those of some of the previously studied exchange reactions which have been considered favorable for dual temperature processes. An equation for calculating the separation factor as a function of composition for the H/sub 2/O--Pd hydride and deuteride are derived here to illustrate the theory involved. (M.H.R.)
