Abstract

Heavy water (D2O) can induce various biochemical changes in comparison with light water (H2O). In order to reduce excessive energy consumption, which is a disadvantage of the existing separation process, we conduct the forward osmosis with electrospun polyamide membranes. NaCl and phosphoric acid were used as draw solutions. FT-IR spectroscopy was used to quantify the concentration of heavy water. It was observed that phosphoric acid could concentrate heavy water through a forward osmosis process and its special interaction with hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) was spectrophotometrically confirmed.

중수는 경수와 다른 물리화학적 특징으로 다양한 생물화학적 변화를 유도할 수 있다. 기존 분리공정의 단점인 에너지소비량을 줄이고자 전기방사 폴리아마이드 분리막을 이용하여 정삼투공정을 이용하였다. 유도용액으로 NaCl과 인산을 사용하였다. 중수농도를 정량화하기 위해 FT-IR 분광법을 활용하였다. 인산과 수소/중수소의 특별한 상호작용력을 분광학적으로 확인하였으며, 정삼투공정으로 농축이 가능할 수 있다는 것을 관찰하였다.
