<p>TITLE PROCESS FOR THE EXTRACTION OF TRITIUM FROM HEAVY WATER INVENTOR Allan H. Dombra A process for the extraction of tritium from a liquid heavy water stream comprising contacting the liquid heavy water with a countercurrent gaseous deuterium in a column packed with a water-repellent catalyst such that tritium is transferred by isotopic exchange from the liquid heavy water stream to the gaseous deuterium stream, passing the gas enriched in tritium from the column through means for removing tritium therefrom and returning the gas lean in tritium to the column, and obtaining a liquid heavy water output from the column, said heavy water being reduced in tritium content.</p> |
