Where can we find deuterium gas?

oceans
Deuterium has a natural abundance in Earth’s oceans of about one atom in 6420 of hydrogen. Thus deuterium accounts for approximately 0.0156\% (0.0312\% by mass) of all the naturally occurring hydrogen in the oceans, while protium accounts for more than 99.98\%.

Can you buy deuterium gas?

Deuterium Gas D2 Deuterium is a colorless, flammable gas. It is shipped and sold by the Liter, as a compressed gas at approximately 1,750 Psi.

Does the Philippines have deuterium?

Deuterium is most prevalent in an area more widely known as the Philippine Deep, which is located along the eastern side of the Philippines, of which the deepest deuterium deposits, when viewed from a satellite, lies closest to the shores of Surigao.

How do you make deuterium?

To get Deuterium you need to refine x1 Di-Hydrogen and x1 Tritium in a refiner, which takes less than a second to refine in a medium or large refiner. You can also refine x5 Tritium to jump straight to Deuterium.

How is deuterium gas made?

Deuterium is made by separating naturally-occurring heavy water from a large volume of natural water. Deuterium could be produced in a nuclear reactor, but the method is not cost-effective.

What country has the most deuterium gas?

The Philippines
The Philippines was identified by some in the scientific community to hold the greatest amount of deuterium deposits in the world somewhere in the area called the Philippine Trench or Mindanao Deep, the part of the Pacific Ocean running mostly the entire length of the country.

What is another name for deuterium?

deuterium, (D, or 2H), also called heavy hydrogen, isotope of hydrogen with a nucleus consisting of one proton and one neutron, which is double the mass of the nucleus of ordinary hydrogen (one proton).

Can you buy Deuterium in the US?

You are correct that deuterium gas and heavy water can be purchased, legally, in the USofA: people doing electrostatic-confined-fusion experiments use deuterium gas in their “fusors”, either directly or by electrolysis of heavy water. No, He-7 decays to He-6 by neutron emission, and He-6 beta decays to Li-6. That’s all correct.

Who is the largest producer of deuterium in the world?

The world’s leading supplier of deuterium was Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, in Canada, until 1997, when the last heavy water plant was shut down. Canada uses heavy water as a neutron moderator for the operation of the CANDU reactor design. Another major producer of heavy water is India.

How can the yield of deuterium be improved?

The process can be repeated to achieve a desired deuterium level. They used three stages. Yield can be improved by capturing the deutrium/hydrogen gas of the late stages, burning it to make water, and feeding this back to an earlier stage.

How do you make lithium-6 deuteride?

You will then electrolyze resulting heavy water and heat lithium-6 and deuterium gas in a hermetically sealed container to 600-700 C, where they will react to produce lithium-6 deuteride. Someone making fusion bombs with Li-6-D?
