Preliminary Studies for the Separation of HD from H2 by Rectified Absorption

The feasibility of rectified absorption for the recovery and purification of HD from H2 streams has been investigated. The absorbent considered was liquid nitrogen at 78 (degrees) K. The process appears to present no major engineering or operation problems. Cost calculations indicate that the process may be economically competitive with other processes. Process design was based on an estimated separation factor of 1.25 between H2 and HD in this system. Experimental work has been undertaken to check the validity of this estimate and to investigate the possibility of using other absorbents such as hydrocarbons and fluorocarbons.

MTA, A-12 Development, Drift Tubes - RF and Beam Geometry. Comparison of A-12 to A-24

The final r.f. characteristics of A-12 are shown. The mechanical features are available in UCRL-1859. If A-12 were to be changed to 24.2 mm rather than 12.1 mm, keeping the same length and the same constant average coil gradient of 0.375 MV/ft., the characteristics of such an A-24 can be obtained from the attached curves.
