Abstract
Methods and systems directed to the separation of tritium from an aqueous stream are described. The separation method is a multistage method that includes a purification stage during which tritium of a tritium-contaminated aqueous stream is adsorbed onto a cooled and wet separation phase, a regeneration stage during which the adsorbed tritium is exchanged with hydrogen in a gaseous stream to regenerate the separation phase and provide a gaseous stream with a high tritium concentration, and a third stage during which the tritium of the gaseous stream is separated from the gaseous stream as a gaseous tritium product.
