Abstract
Five closed configuration electrolytic cells employing different moisture sensitive electrolyte coatings on parallel windings of Pd (wire) cathode and Pt (wire) anode were fabricated and operated to investigate their amenability for prolonged working and to enrich tritium, if formed through cold nuclear fusion, by continous recycling of heavy water. The operating D.C. Voltages were optimised to balance rate of electrolysis and the rate of water sorption by the hygroscopic electrolyte coatings. While three of the cells could function for short periods, the remaining two cells exhibited very satisfactory operational performance (80-108 days). In one of the latter cells, tritium build up of 23.24 Bq/ml of cell D{sub 2}O (blank 2.26 Bq/ml) was registered on the 24th day of operation. (author). 4 figs., 1 tab., 13 refs.
