Abstract
In practice, this gives rise to a significant separation factor, with deuterium being depleted in the permeate stream, but enriched in the retentate stream. Creating a cascading series of membranes, with successive retentate streams combined, will allow the deuterium concentration to be enriched far beyond the natural value of 0.015%. This work suggests that further work is warranted to explore whether this separation factor can be enhanced (e.g., through alloying), and to demonstrate a cascading membrane system to deliver high purity deuterium from a natural hydrogen source.
