METHOD FOR ENRICHMENT OF DEUTERIUM BY DEUTERIUM EXCHANGE BETWEEN A FLUID WATERY PHASE AND A VAPOR PHASE, THE TWO PHASES BEING IN HTERMODYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4727266
The method for enrichment of deuterium by deuterium exchange between a fluid watery phase and a vapor phase comprises the step of generating a counter current between a fluid medium and a vapor which is in thermodynamic equilibrium with the fluid. The counter current is established in a distillation column. The fluid is a mixture of azotic acid or perchloric acid and water. The mixture which is enriched with deuterium is gathered from the head of the column. (Gmelin Inst.)
