A new technique for pumping hydrogen gas

January 1, 1970

A system for pumping hydrogen gas without isotopic fractionation has been developed. The pump contains uranium metal, which when heated to about 80°C reacts with hydrogen to form UH3. The UH3 is heated to above 500°C to decompose the hydride and regenerate the hydrogen.
