Apparatus For Separating Heavy Isotopes Of Hydrogen From Water
US Patent:
6153092, Nov 28, 2000
Filed:
Dec 16, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/465167
Inventors:
James A. Patterson - Sarasota FL
Martin Josef Gruber - Sarasota FL
Louis Edward Furlong - Sarasota FL
Martin Josef Gruber - Sarasota FL
Louis Edward Furlong - Sarasota FL
Assignee:
Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. - Sarasota FL
International Classification:
B01D 5950
US Classification:
210 962
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for separating oxides of heavy isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium oxide, oxides of tritium and mixed isotope oxides) from light water (H2O) which is contaminated with these heavy hydrogen isotopes such as that currently being discharged in cooling water from nuclear power plants. A central aspect of this invention includes a plurality or bundle of elongated hollow core fibers which are positioned within an elongated enclosed housing having a feed water inlet, an exit stream outlet, and a permeate outlet. At least a portion of the hollow core fibers are at least partially filled or packed with small beads which are comprised of a porous exchange resin carrying waters of hydration. Porosity is controlled by the degree of cross-linking and bead diameter of the exchange resin which is preferably combined with aluminum sulfate or ammonium hydride to form (RSO. sub. 3). sub. 3 Al or RSO. sub. 3 NH. sub. 4.
