Abstract
Heavy water is an important industrial chemical for nuclear power generation from natural uranium, precursor for tritium, required for fusion power generation and an important chemical and biochemical tracer. Its separation from natural or synthetic D2O–H2O binary solutions is highly energy intensive. Therefore for development of chemical and physiochemical processes for its separation, physical properties of binary solutions of D2O and H2O are important. In this study, density, excess molar volume, refractive indices and related properties are reported for D2O–H2O binary solutions.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
