Provided is a method for industrially separating tritiated water from light water, said method comprising, in the following order: a step in which, by adding heavy water to a liquid mixture containing tritiated water and light water, and, under conditions for forming a gas hydrate of the heavy water and/or of the tritiated water and conditions for maintaining the light water in a liquid state, forming a gas hydrate containing the tritiated water and the heavy water in a crystal structure, the tritiated water and the heavy water are removed from the light water; and a step in which, under conditions for forming a gas hydrate of the tritiated water and conditions for maintaining the heavy water in a liquid state, a liquid mixture, which is obtained by breaking down the structure of the gas hydrate containing the tritiated water and the heavy water and which contains the tritiated water and the heavy water, is made to form a gas hydrate containing the tritiated water in a crystal structure, such that the gas hydrate is separated from the heavy water, after which the tritiated water is collected from the heavy water by breaking down the structure of the gas hydrate containing the tritiated water. |
