Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ISOTOPIC WATER SEPARATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/026848
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods and systems for filtering water according to its isotopic forms. In some embodiments, a stream of water comprising at least two distinct isotopic forms of water may be directed into one or more filtration modules comprising a graphene oxide membrane. The graphene oxide membrane(s) may be used to separate the stream into a permeate and a retentate, wherein the permeate comprises an increased concentration of light water relative to the retentate.
