Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

The composite packing with the hydrophobic platinum catalyst for the isotope exchange reaction in H2O-H2 system was improved to be appreciably active. Therefore, it bacame realistic to design a process for tritium recovery by the dual-temperature exchange method. The separation performance of dual-temperature 5-stage cascade (S3-E2) was simulated. The process was desinged to be operated under the condition of P = 0.1 MPa, TH = 70 °C, TC = 15∼20 °C. The cascade could attain tritium recovery ratio of 0.99 and enriching ratio larger than 103.
