Characteristics of the mass transfer of structured rolled ribbon-screw packings in isotope exchange columns during vacuum water distillation

Abstract

Some results of studying the structured rolled ribbon-screw packing during the separation of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes via water distillation in columns with diameters of 60 and 120 mm and different heights of the packed bed have been presented. The results of studying the effect of process conditions on the ultimate throughput and the height equivalent to a theoretical plate have been considered. The coincidence of the mass-transfer characteristics in the separation of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes via vacuum water distillation has been shown.
