Abstract
At room-temperature and atmospheric pressure, using electrode disks of various sizes, under the action 4 ∼ 7Vdc eletric field, we gettered tritium gas from 2.2L of air containing (0.15 ∼ 18.61)×108 Bq of tritium and (3000 ∼ 12000) ppm of moisture during 50 hours or so the efficiency of gettering tritium was over 95%. Applying liquid scintillation counting method, we measured the tritium in the disks after gettering, and found that the amounts of tritium in the disks were equal to those reduced in the tested tritiated air.
