Abstract

The influence of the rate v and the share of freezing water g on the separation of deuterium D and oxygen 18O was studied by mass spectrometry. Evidence was obtained supporting the well known facts that upon freezing of water, (1) the concentration of D in ice is higher than in water; (2) the degree of separation for D is higher than for 18O; (3) an increase in the concentration of D and 18O in ice takes place as the v value decreases. It was shown for the first time that, at g < 0.05, the concentrations of D at high v values are higher than at g > 0.05, and at low v values, they are less than at g > 0.05.
