A compact neutron source based active water-cooled solid deuterium target with easy disassembly

This invention discloses a conveniently detachable, actively water-cooled solid-state deuterium target based on a compact neutron source, comprising a micron-sized solid titanium film, a titanium film carrier, and a water-cooled substrate. Deuterium is deposited in the solid titanium film by bombarding it with a deuterium ion beam, and neutrons are generated by collisions with the subsequent deuterium ion beam. Oxygen-free copper, with its high thermal conductivity, is used as the carrier for the titanium film. The threaded structure on the side of the titanium film carrier allows for convenient installation and removal from the water-cooled substrate. The oxygen-free copper substrate, with multiple annular water-cooling structures inside, enables rapid and effective removal of heat flux from the target, preventing deuterium particles deposited in the solid titanium film from desorbing due to excessive temperature, thus avoiding impact on neutron yield. This invention provides a conveniently detachable, actively water-cooled solid-state deuterium target suitable for compact deuterium-deuterium neutron generators, providing a sound technical foundation for the widespread application of compact accelerator neutron source systems in production and daily life.

Hydrogen isotope concentrating apparatus

To obtain deuterium in a gas state from a mixed gas of hydrogen and deuterium at a low cost.A first electrode 11 is an electrode made of a metal allowing hydrogen (H component and D component) to permeate therethrough (hydrogen permeable metal), and the hydrogen permeable metal is Pd, for example. H ions and D ions having permeated through the first electrode 11 flow to the side of a second electrode 12 in a proton conduction layer 20. When the first electrode 11 is used as an anode and the second electrode 12 as a cathode, H ions and D ions flow in the proton conduction layer 20 from the left to the right in the drawing. In that case, hydrogen component in an input gas is more likely to flow into an atmosphere on the cathode side than deuterium component, and an H / D composition ratio accordingly becomes higher in a product gas than in the input gas. In an exhaust gas extracted after H and D components in the input gas are thus consumed, D component has been enriched.
