So heavy water, or D2O, or less commonly known as deuterium oxide, is a substance used in heavy water reactors and also as a source of deuterium gas (through electrolysis) for fusion research. Light water (H2O), of course, has a boiling point of 100°C, whereas heavy water (D2O) has a boiling point of 101.4°C. Obviously […]
- Tags and then boiling off the fraction of heavy water at 101.4°C. I want to take this further though. Can water be placed in a vessel and then us, has a boiling point of 100°C, is a substance used in heavy water reactors and also as a source of deuterium gas (through electrolysis) for fusion research. Light water (H, limitless source of deuterium gas that requires nothing more than free solar energy to produce. Am I crazy or does this make sense?, of course, or D2O, or less commonly known as deuterium oxide, perhaps through a fresnel lens, So heavy water, to boil off the light water and then fraction off the heavy water? Then solar panel energy could be used to drive electrolysis to obtain deu, whereas heavy water (D2O) has a boiling point of 101.4°C. Obviously one can fractionally distill D2O from H20 by boiling the water above 100°
