Heterophasic Concentrating of Tritium Oxides

Abstract

Recycling of tritiated wastewater provides tritium products of high practical and commercial value. The recycling process includes three stages: (1) conditioning (preliminary enriching) of raw tritiated water by means of reverse osmosis; (2) concentrating the tritium oxide by means of salt rectification of the tritiated water; (3) obtaining tritiated ice. The paper presents the technological conditions for each stage with special attention paid to the opportunity of producing helium-3 as the final product of tritiated wastewater recycling.
