Source:

• Deuterium is prepared by electrolysis of heavy water (D2O).

Applications:

• Deuterium is used in nuclear research as the projectile in deuterium accelerator, and as a source of neutrons when it is irradiated with energy rays.
• Deuterium is used in physics experiments, such as thermal fusion studies.
• It is also used in chemical research, where it is used to label hydrogen-containing molecules and hence to study reaction involving these.
• Deuterium is used in electronics as a replacement for hydrogen in the annealing or sintering of silicon-based semiconductor, flat panel displays, and solar panels.
• Deuterium is used as a trace maker of organic molecules used in CAT scanning (Computed Axial Tomography) studies.
• Deuterium is in HF/DF chemical laser

Characteristics:

• Flammable, colourless and odourless
