Deuterium enrichments are reported for flowing methane/hydrogen mixtures subjected to a glow discharge at low temperatures. Dependence of the enrichment factor on initial D/H ratios, flow rates, system pressure, discharge energies, and translational temperature of the reacting gas mixture was studied. In addition to enrichment measurements, details of the estimate of energy requirements for enrichment of deuterium from natural abundance are included.
