Abstract

The study of the method of the phase isotopic exchange (PIE) for the purification of gas flows containing deuterium and tritium is carried out. The experimental data obtained for a column with a diameter of 32 mm on a Sulzer copper oxidized packing showed that the mass transfer characteristics do not depend on the deuterium concentration. Based on these results, a mathematical model for separating three-isotope mixtures, which makes it possible to calculate the column parameters under different initial conditions, is developed.
