The high performance catalysts of hydrophobic carrier with fully dispersed platinum were used to measure the isotope separation performance of hydrogen by the chemical exchange method. The continuous injection of oxygen on the order of 10
3ppm was effective in regenerating catalyst activity and in maintaining high performance for a long time.
The separation performance in a trickle bed column should be evaluated by using two parameters,
K9 and
Kl. These two parameters were unified to the overall transfer coefficient
Kfg, which may be sufficient in the estimation of overall performance or the design of a separation plant by the chemical exchange method.
When one wants to increase the transfer rate in a chemical exchange column, the improvement of
Kl rather than
Kg may be more effective in increasing the overall transfer rate (its coefficient is expressed by
Kfg in this paper).
