Abstract
A new type of chromatography for hydrogen isotope separation was devel oped by use of a Pd-Pt alloy as functional material. It could separate H-2-D-2 mixtures (90% H-2-10% D-2 and 50% H-2-50% D-2) and HD to H-2 and D-2 in a temperature range from 274 similar to 303 K in a short ti me with simple operation procedures without introducing any replacemen t gas. The new chromatography promises great potential for the applica tion to an isotope separation system of thermonuclear fusion devices. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
