[0044]Tests were performed to investigate isotopic exchange within an electrochemical pump. The pump and humidifier were pre-treated with D2O and used to pump D2. A mass spectrometer was used to monitor the content of the pumped gas exiting the cathode compartment. Upon switching from using a D2O pretreated humidifier to a H2O humidifier a rapid increase in H was observed. This demonstrated how readily isotopes exchange within the electrochemical device and supporting sub-systems.

An electrochemical hydrogen isotope concentrating apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes an inlet stream of the hydrogen isotope to be concentrated. The apparatus also includes an electrochemical cell that includes a hydron exchange membrane containing hydrons of the hydrogen isotope, an anode on a first side of the hydron exchange membrane in fluid communication with the inlet stream, a cathode on a second side of the hydron exchange membrane, and an electrical circuit connection between the anode and the cathode. The apparatus further includes two outlet streams: a first outlet stream of the hydrogen isotope in fluid communication with the cathode, and a second outlet stream depleted of the hydrogen isotope in fluid communication with the anode.
Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 385,787, filed Sep. 9, 2016, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]Isotopes of hydrogen, including deuterium and tritium, are useful in a wide variety of commercial and industrial processes such as to advantageously improve the properties of a wide variety of products including food and nutrition products, agricultural products, semiconductors, fiber optics, optoelectronics, and others. While there is a strong desire to include these isotopes in numerous products and processes, such use has generally been hindered by the relative scarcity of the isotopes.[0003]As such, there is a need for new processes and equipment to recycle these isotopes or otherwise purify fluids containing these isotopes in high purity so that they can be used or re-used in the processes in which they are employed.BRIEF DESC...
