Abstract

In a process for preparing a substance enriched in deuterium by exchange of D between the principal substance to be enriched and an auxiliary substance in a different phase, both substances containing D, in a cascade system of interconnected stages, each comprising two exchange columns at different temperatures through each of which the two substances flow in countercurrent and intermingle so that the principal substance is enriched in one column and impoverished in the other, and the auxiliary substance is circulated in a closed cycle through each stage, or is advanced from stage to stage by withdrawing a portion from between the columns of a stage for passage to a succeeding stage and returning the residue to the stage from which the portion is withdrawn, the principal substance withdrawn from the enriching column of each stage except the last is divided into two portions, one being fed to the enriching column and the other to the impoverishing column af the next succeeding stage, the principal substance withdrawn from the impoverishing column of each stage except the first is fed to the impoverishing column of the next preceding stage, the enriched principal substance is recovered from the enriching column of the last stage as product, the principal substance fed to the first stage is divided between the two columns thereof, and the principal substance from the impoverishing column of the first stage passes to waste. The process is described in the production of heavy water by D exchange between H2O and H2S in hot and cold columns operating at 160 DEG C. and 30 DEG C. respectively under 20 kg/cm2. The water from each cold column is divided between the cold and hot columns of a preceding stage and partly from the hot column of the succeeding stage. The H2S is passed as a closed cycle in each stage (Fig. 2 not shown) or is advanced to, and returned from, each stage from between the columns of the preceding stage (Fig. 3 not shown).
