PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF WATER OR HYDROGEN ENRICHED IN DEUTERIUM

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4796433

A process is given for producing H/sub 2/O or H/sub 2/ of greater than normal deuterium content in conjunction with NH/sub 3/ synthesis. In the process, the starting H/sub 2/ is impoverished in deuterium by isotope exchange with liquid NH/sub 3/ which was produced from impoverished H/sub 2/ and then pre- enriched in deuterium by isotope exchange with normal H/sub 2/O, and the further enriched NH/sub 3/ is either burned to NO/sub 2/ and enriched H/sub 2/O or cracked to N/sub 2/ and enriched H/sub 2/.
