What is LiOD

thread466-265229

What is LiOD

What is LiOD

(OP)
I am reading about the purification system of the Heat Tranport System of a CANDU reactor and I keep seeing a reference of "LiOD"
It is the addition of Lithium from the IX columns to the D2O to control the PH at around 10

Does LiOD simply mean Lithium + Oxygen + Deturium  ?

Thanks in advance

RE: What is LiOD

(OP)
I was able to get an answer from one of the lab rats at work.
It is Lithium and Oxygen and Deturium
Thanks

RE: What is LiOD

LiOD = lithium deuteroxide (or deuterated lithium hydroxide).  

Lithium hydroxide with deuterium (heavy hydrogen) instead of normal hydrogen.

White Paper - Addressing Tooling and Casting Requirements at the Design Stage
Several of the tooling and casting requirements of a part can be addressed at the design stage. If these requirements are not addressed at the design stage, lot of time is spent in design iteration when the design reaches the die caster. These design issues lead to increase in time and cost of production leading to delay in time to market and reduced profits for the organization. Download Now
