Abstract
MESSRS. R. P. BELL and J. H. Wolfenden1 have recently given their experience in concentrating the hydrogen isotope, namely, that nickel, platinum and copper are about equally efficient as cathodes, and in general the efficiency is surprisingly insensitive to the conditions of electrolysis. Broadly speaking, this is also the conclusion we have reached in a study of the electrolytic separation. There are, however, real differences between different metallic cathodes.
