Deuterium-depleted water has less deuterium (2 H) than occurs in nature at sea level. [1] Deuterium is a naturally-occurring, stable (non-radioactive) isotope of hydrogen with a nucleus consisting of one proton and one neutron. A nucleus of normal hydrogen (protium, 1 H) consists of one proton only, and no neutron.
Since one in about every 6,400 hydrogen atoms is deuterium, a 50-kilogram (110 lb) human containing 32 kilograms (71 lb) of body water would normally contain enough deuterium (about 1.1 grams or 0.039 ounces) to make 5.5 grams (0.19 oz) of pure heavy water, so roughly this dose is required to double the amount of deuterium in the body.
Deuterium-depleted water, water with less heavy water than in natural water. See also. ddw, ISO 639-3 code of the Dawera-Daweloor language of Indonesia
Water that contains deuterium is believed to stick to dust more easily than regular water. When ice is released into the part of the atmosphere surrounding the nucleus, known as the coma, it could ...
Semiheavy water, a form of water in which one of the protium atoms in light water is replaced with deuterium atoms; Heavy water, a form of water that contains a larger than usual amount of deuterium molecules; Super-heavy water, a form of water in which both protium atoms in light water are replaced with tritium atoms
For water, the condensed phase is more enriched while the vapor is more depleted. For example, rain condensing from a cloud, is heavier than the vapor starting point. Generally, the large variations in deuterium concentration in water are from fractionations between liquid, vapor, and solid reservoirs.
Due to confusion over multiple water standards, the Commission on Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights recommended in 1994 that all future isotopic measurements of oxygen-18 (18 O) and deuterium (2 H) be reported relative to VSMOW, on a scale such that the δ 18 O of SLAP is −55.5‰ and the δ 2 H of SLAP is −428‰, relative to VSMOW.
