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:
Journal of Solution Chemistry offers a forum for research on the physical chemistry of liquid solutions in such fields as physical chemistry, chemical physics, molecular biology, statistical mechanics, biochemistry, and biophysics. The emphasis is on papers in which the solvent plays a dominant rather than incidental role. Featured topics include experimental investigations of the dielectric, spectroscopic, thermodynamic, transport, or relaxation properties of both electrolytes and nonelectrolytes in liquid solutions.
