Abstract
A process for removing helium and other impurities from a mixture containing deuterium and tritium, which process comprises the following steps: separating the isotopes of hydrogen from the impurity by catalytic oxidation; condensing out the oxides H.sub.2 O, D.sub.2 O and T.sub.2 O thus formed; separating by electrolysis a portion of the said oxides in an electrolytic cell in order to produce a protium-rich portion; distillating the protium-rich portion to separate deuterium and tritium oxides from a distillate rich in water; and electrolyzing the condensate of the distillation step and the non-electrolyzed portion of the first electrolyzing step in order to form a mixture of deuterium and tritium. Preferably the impure mixture of deuterium and tritium is a waste product of a fusion reactor and the purified deuterium-tritium mixture is recycled to the reactor.
