Heavy Water, D2O


Heavy Water, D2O

It is extensively used as a moderator in nuclear reactors and in exchange reactions for the study of reaction mechanisms. It can be prepared by exhaustive electrolysis of water or as a by-product in some fertilizer industries. It is used for the preparation of other deuterium compounds, for example:

CaC2  +  2D2O   →   C2D2  +  Ca(OD)2
SO3  +  D2O   →   D2SO4
Al4C3  +  12D2O   →   3CD4  +  4Al(OD)3

Deuterolysis

Some inorganic chloride and other salt react with water then its hydrolysis occurs. Heavy water reacts same reaction with inorganic chloride salt.
