Heterogeneous Equilibria with Deuterium

Abstract

THE heterogeneous equilibria between hydrogen and the metallic chlorides have been extensively studied, notably by Berger and Crut1 using a static method, and by Jellinek and his collaborators2 using a dynamic method. More recently, Kapustinsky3 has studied the reduction of cuprous chloride with both hydrogen and deuterium, using a static method. The agreement among the results of different authors is not very satisfactory and we are engaged in further investigations of heterogeneous equilibria involving hydrogen and deuterium.
