Heavy water or deuterium oxide is a technical liquid with a high content of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes. The main purpose is to slow down or completely stop various types of chemical reactions. Prevents the formation of mold and fungal infections. Scope of application:
- Cooling system for nuclear reactors.
- Isotope indicator in the field of biological research.
- Neutrino detector.
Quite often the product is used in a circulation format along a closed (cyclic) circuit. In this case, filter elements are used to maintain quality indicators. Special fleetguard filters have been developed specifically for these purposes which are available from a direct supplier to the Ukrainian market, the Ultrafilter company.
Structural diagram and principle of operation
Type and design of a filter for heavy water purification is selected taking into account the specifics of its use after cleaning activities. A liquid operating in a closed cycle moves under significant pressure (pressure) in pipelines. May react with pipe and fitting materials. Forms crystals, releases gaseous substances or causes the transition of iron molecules to the trivalent state (rust). To remove contaminants and maintain quality parameters, the following are used:
- Coarse filters, meshes capable of retaining fractions of certain sizes.
- Multilayer filter elements that completely purify water from existing impurities.
- Special filters operating at the molecular level of purification.
Converting heavy water into ordinary water is a rather complex technological process that requires not only high-quality filters, but also special high-tech equipment . The difficulty lies in the need to separate deuterium oxide from the liquid. The procedure involves:
- Rectification of liquid hydrogen at low temperatures with further combustion of H2 with oxygen.
- Freezing under vacuum with further thawing.
- Carrying out vacuum rectification.
