Ah ha I am back with a better answer.

In the past all of the heavy water for Canada's domestic and export needs has been extracted from ordinary water, where deuterium occurs naturally at a concentration of about 150 ppm (deuterium-to-hydrogen). For bulk commercial production, the primary extraction process to date, the "Girdler-Sulphide (G-S)" process, exploits the temperature-dependence of the exchange of deuterium between water and hydrogen-sulphide gas (H2S). In a typical G-S heavy-water extraction tower, ordinary water is passed over perforated trays through which the gas is bubbled. In the "hot section" of each tower the deuterium will migrate to the hydrogen-sulphide gas, and in the "cold section" this deuterium migrates back into cold feedwater.

How do we get chlorine?

Chlorine is typically produced by electrolysis of salt water (brine) or by direct chlorination of hydrocarbons. It is commonly obtained commercially for water treatment and disinfection purposes. Additionally, chlorine is a naturally occurring element found in salt deposits and in seawater.

How do you extract chlorine?

One way to extract chlorine from its raw material is to mix salt with water and apply an electrical charge. Problem with this is that it will also release hazardous gasses in the process. Chlorine gas is extremely hazardous...read up on it before trying to create it.


What sustance is easiest to compress iodine crystals. chlorine gas. bromine water. sea water?

Chlorine gas is the easiest substance to compress out of the options provided (iodine crystals, chlorine gas, bromine water, sea water). This is because gases are more compressible than liquids or solids due to their higher molecular mobility and greater space between particles.
