Abstract
Hydrogen produced electrolytically is isotopically light (depleted in deuterium) relative to the water in the electrolysis cell. Samples of the hydrogen by-product from two caustic soda/chlorine plants in New Zealand have been collected; one plant uses diaphragm cells and the other mercury cells. The hydrogen from one plant has been burnt to produce light water. These samples, commercial compressed hydrogen and Antarctic snow-melt (previously recommended as a source of light water) are approx 80, 50 and 35%, respectively, depleted in deuterium, relative to standard mean ocean water. The water produced by burning hydrogen from the caustic/chlorine plants, could be available in tonnage quantities anywhere in the industrialised world. Work with this water has failed to confirm previous claims of accelerated germination of seeds and subsequent growth of plants, when using light water.
