Mathematical models concerning the design of column for isotopic exchange process in the pilot plant for tritium and deuterium separation.

Author(s) : GHERGHINESCU S., POPESCU G.

Summary

The purpose of this paper is to determine the flow behaviour of both phases, gaseous and liquid, of the hydrogen isotopes in order to obtain a better separation factor between hydrogen and water in the D2-DTO large-scale isotopic exchange column. Seeing that direct determination of the fractions of the hydrogen isotopic species is difficult and rather imprecise, the numerical estimation method with high precision is strongly required. Therefore, the authors use series of isotope exchange process characteristic equations to obtain the precise results needed in the process design for the achievement of the operating data target. A special attention is paid to the two first weight reactions in the isotopic exchange process.
