The invention discloses a
system and a method for preparing high-purity
deuterium gas based on
electrolysis of
heavy water in a
solid oxide electrolytic tank. The
system comprises a
heavy water heating device, an SOEC reactor, a
vertical tube furnace, a
deuterium gas condensing device, an external power supply and a
deuterium gas
storage tank. The SOEC reactor is positioned in the
vertical tube furnace, and two ends of the
solid oxide electrolytic tank are connected with an external power supply.
Heavy water is gasified through the heating device and then directly input into the
cathode of the
solid oxide electrolytic tank,
heavy water vapor is electrolyzed into deuterium gas through external
voltage, meanwhile,
oxygen ions are generated, the
oxygen ions are transmitted to the
anode through
electrolyte and oxidized into
oxygen at the
anode, and the purpose of preparing high-purity deuterium gas through heavy water
electrolysis is achieved. According to the
system, heavy
water vapor is directly subjected to high-temperature
electrolysis by using an SOEC technology, and high-purity deuterium gas can be obtained through a deuterium gas
drying device. The method is high in
operability, low in
safety risk and easy for large-scale production, and solves the problems of high heavy water
impurity removal cost, high low-temperature electrolysis
energy consumption and low efficiency in the prior art.
