Abstract
A catalyst for concentrating hydrogen isotopes for use in performing hydrogen isotopes exchange between gaseous hydrogen and liquid water, the catalyst comprising a support of porous polytetrafluoroethylene having a total specific surface area of 2 to 80 m.sup.2 /g as a result of mixing therewith 0.5 to 15% by weight of fluorocarbon or a porous styrene polymer or styrene/divinylbenzene copolymer having a specific surface area of at least 150 m.sup.2 /g, and deposited on the support particles of at least one element selected from Group VIII of the Periodic Table. A method for producing a support of porous polytetrafluoroethylene for such catalyst is also disclosed.
