The article presents the results of an experimental study of the isotope exchange process between hydrogen and water in membrane contact devices with a Nafion-type membrane and a platinized heterogeneous RCTU-3SM catalyst. A mathematical description of the mechanism of mass transfer in a membrane contact device is proposed. The design of the presented membrane contact devices makes it possible to create countercurrent separation units that do not require a vertical arrangement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
