Process for hydrogen isotope concentration between liquid water and hydrogen gas
Patent
·
OSTI ID:7124892
A process for hydrogen isotope exchange and concentration between liquid water and hydrogen gas, in which liquid water and hydrogen gas are contacted, in an exchange section, with one another and with at least one catalyst body is described. The catalyst is at least one metal selected from Group VIII of the Periodic Table and preferably a support therefor. The catalyst body has a liquid-water-repellent, gas permeable polymer or organic resin coating, preferably a fluorinated olefin polymer or silicone coating, so that the isotope concentration takes place by two simultaneously occuring steps, while the hydrogen gas fed to the exchange section is derived in a reactor vessel from liquid water that has passed through the exchange section. 13 claims, 6 drawing figures.
