Abstract

The effect of plate-spacing on the degree of recovery and production rate for the recovery of deuterium from water-isotopes mixture in flat-plate thermal-diffusion columns of the Frazier scheme with fixed operation expense has been investigated. The equations for estimating optimum plate-spacing for maximum recovery and maximum production rate have been developed. Considerable improvement in performance is obtainable when thermal-diffusion columns with optimum plate-spacing are employed for operation.
