Behavior of sieve plates in the H2O-H2S isotopic exchange column for heavy water separation process

A mathematical model for description of the transfer processes on the water-hydrogen sulfide isotopic exchange plate is presented. The model allows simultaneous determination of the concentration and temperature profiles along the isotopic exchange columns. The hydrodynamic behaviour of the sieve plates of the water-hydrogen sulfide isotopic exchange columns is given by the loading diagram, which is built by the transposition of the experimental data from water-air system, using Weber number.
