ARGOSUN - Deuterium Gas (D2)

Deuterium gas (D ²） It is a radioactive hydrogen isotope with the following characteristics:

• Chemical properties: Deuterium is a stable isotope of hydrogen with an atomic mass of 2. It has the same nuclear charge as ordinary hydrogen (H ₁), but different proton numbers. Deuterium exhibits similar characteristics to ordinary hydrogen in chemical reactions and can generate completely corresponding compounds.
• Physical properties: Deuterium gas is a colorless and odorless combustible gas. Its boiling point at room temperature is -249.5 ℃, and at 20.4K, the proportion of deuterium in the equilibrium mixture can reach 97.8%.
• Application: Deuterium gas has applications in industries such as semiconductor and solar cell, especially as a hydrogen source in silicon sintering or annealing processes, to replace ordinary hydrogen. In addition, deuterium gas is also used as a new fuel product with characteristics such as high density, low volatility, and high thermal combustion efficiency, suitable for industrial production, transportation, and other fields. twelve.

Basic Introduction

Chemical properties: Hydrogen is known to have three isotopes. Their (atomic) mass numbers are 1, 2, and 3, respectively called protium, deuterium (stable isotope), and tritium (unstable isotope).

Deuterium possesses all the reaction characteristics of ordinary hydrogen and generates completely corresponding compounds. The higher mass and lower zero energy (energy at absolute zero) of deuterium result in very different reaction rates and equilibrium points in the same reaction. Generally speaking, compared to ordinary hydrogen, deuterium has a slower reaction rate and a more incomplete reaction.
