Abstract

The possibility of high-precision determination of mass transfer characteristics of stainless steel packings in the separation of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes by vacuum distillation of water in columns with a diameter of 60–250 mm was shown. An algorithm for calculating the parameters of separation and the concentration profile of deuterium and oxygen-18 during their simultaneous separation in a closed type unit with product selection by vacuum distillation of water was presented.
