Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of heavy water preparation, and particularly discloses production equipment and a purification process of high-purity heavy water.

Background

Deuterium oxide (Deuterium oxide) is a compound consisting of Deuterium and oxygen, also called Deuterium oxide, of formula D2O, with a relative molecular mass 20.0275 which is about 11% higher than the relative molecular mass 18.0153 of water (H2O), and is therefore called heavy water. The properties of deuterium and hydrogen are very similar, so that the chemical properties of heavy water and ordinary water are also very similar. In natural water, the content of heavy water is about 0.02%. The modern industrial heavy water production method comprises the following steps: ammonia, water rectification and water, liquid hydrogen distillation, single-temperature and double-temperature ammonia hydrogen, hydrogen-water and hydrogen sulfide-water exchange, intermittent, semi-continuous and continuous electrolysis, etc. At present, the electrolysis method is applied more, but the current electrolysis method for producing heavy water utilizes the principle that protium ions are easier to enrich on electrodes and are electrolyzed into protium gas, and the method is to electrolyze the natural water to produce protium gas and oxygen, and the rest is deuterium water.
