<p>PURPOSE:To provide the title apparatus designed to reduce the inventry of hydrogen (its isotopes), by providing a belt on which a hydrogen-occluding metal or alloy has been held and making such a construction as to circulate said belt between a low-temperature section for occluding hydrogen (its isotopes) and a high-temperature section for releasing the hydrogen (its isotopes). CONSTITUTION:A vacuum vessel 1 is divided into a low-temperature section 2 for occluding hydrogen (its isotopes) and a high-temperature section 3 for releasing hydrogen (its isotopes) and the airtightness of the both sections is retained by a sluice valve 4. Plural containers 6 packed with a hydrogen- occluding metal or alloy are located on a belt 5. Hydrogen (its isotopes) is introduced via the entrance 7 into the low-temperature section 2 and is made to be occluded into said metal or alloy. Thence, said belt 5 is rotated to feed one of said containers 6 into the high-temperature section 3 to release the hydrogen (its isotopes); concurrently, another one of said containers 6 is fed through the opposite side of the belt 5 into the low-temperature section 2. The above- mentioned apparatus is particularly suitable for the deuterium purification and recovery processes in a nuclear fusion furnace.</p> |
