Abstract:
An electrochemical hydrogen isotope recycling apparatus for recycling an isotope of hydrogen includes an electrochemical recycling unit, the unit comprising: an anode; a cathode; and an isotope-treated, proton exchange membrane operatively disposed between the anode and cathode, the isotope-treated, proton exchange membrane having heavy water containing the isotope of hydrogen therein, the device configured to receive a feedstream containing the isotope of hydrogen. A process by which high purity hydrogen isotope products are produced using an electrochemical membrane process in which all conventional water containing components are pre-processed using a heavy water containing the isotope of hydrogen. An industrial apparatus  10  and/or method, such as an electrochemical hydrogen isotope recycling apparatus and/or method, includes an apparatus  49  and/or process by which gaseous D 2  is recovered in a reactor  3  from a gas stream via a reaction in the reactor with another molecule to form a useful chemical compound containing D.

Claim (Index 6):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a heavy water generator to produce heavy water utilized in the apparatus, wherein the anode or the cathode or an interfacial layer associated with one or both of them comprises an ionomer or other water-containing layer having the heavy water containing the isotope of hydrogen therein, wherein the cathode is configured for active or passive heavy water circulation, wherein the cathode is actively flooded with heavy water or wherein the cathode comprises a passively flooded cathode, further comprising a circulation pump in fluid communication with a cathode inlet and a reservoir containing the heavy water, the pump configured to pump the heavy water to the cathode inlet, the reservoir also in fluid communication with a cathode outlet and configured to receive the heavy water evolved at the cathode outlet.
