DEUTERIUM OXIDE (CAS 7789-20-0) MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into 0.999 and 0.998.

• 999- This type of deuterium oxide has a deuterium content of 99 AT%A RC. 9% or higher. The purity is most often described in terms of a decimal part of the whole, and as a rule, it can be only a part of one number, for instance, 0. 999 means that the sample is 99. Nine percent of the substance consists of deuterium oxide while the rest is made up of hydrogen peroxide. 1 % composed of normal hydrogen oxide (H₂O), or other impurities.

• 998- This type of deuterium oxide contains a deuterium component of 99 percent. 8%. It is slightly less pure than the 0 and as it is for other structures mentioned above we have a condition where the integration of the certain types of structures in the chemical components makes even the chemicals to gain some degree of purity. 999 grade but yet has a very high content of deuterium, that is deuterium content of about 0. 2 % are normal hydrogen oxide or other impurities.

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorized into Deuterium Production, Deuterated Solvents, Nuclear Industry and Others.

• Deuterium Production- Deuterium oxide is utilized in generating deuterium gas which is a useful isotope in different sectors. Isolation of deuterium from hydrogen includes processes like electrolytic or chemical separation; in which D₂O can act as a source of deuterium.

• Deuterated Solvents- Deuterated solvents, including those containing deuterium oxide, are important in NMR spectroscopy studies. D₂O in NMR solvents interferes with hydrogen signals hence reducing interference of hydrogen signals in spectroscopic analysis of organic compounds.

• Nuclear Industry- Deuterium oxide is used as a neutron moderator in such types of nuclear reactors as heavy water reactors including CANDU reactors. It is used to moderate the neutrons so that the nuclear fission reaction can continue to occur; it therefore plays a very important role in the efficiency and safety of a nuclear reactor.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Increasing Demand in the Nuclear Industry to Drive Market Advancement"

One of the key driving factors in the  Deuterium Oxide (CAS 7789-20-0) Market growth is Increasing Demand in the Nuclear Industry. Deuterium oxide is critical in heavy water reactors which includes CANDU reactors, in these reactors the deuterium oxide is used as a neutron moderator. Because the demand for nuclear power – one of the most environmentally friendly sources of energy – is still strong all over the world, D₂O is in demand too. Public inventory replenishment, modifications, and generation of new reactors in the nuclear power industry have consistently required deuterium oxide. The increase in the nuclear energy projects in various countries also plays a positive role in the development of the market.

"Growth in Scientific Research and Development to Expand the Market"

Some of the factors which have given a boost to the use of deuterium oxide in research include tracer studies, NMR spectroscopy and metabolic research. With the advancement in research methodologies, there is an ever increasing need for high purity D₂O in the market. This is used in metabolic investigations, and tracer tests that are carried out in the biochemical activities. In the case of the latter, increased Healthcare research especially in drug development and for conditions such as metabolic syndrome results in an increased demand for D₂O.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"High Production Costs Poses Potential Impediments to Market Growth"

Deuterium oxide is synthesized, being a challenging and energy consuming process. Isolating deuterium from hydrogen, in the process of electrolysis, distillation, or chemical exchange demands much energy and instruments therefore it is costly. So, deuterium is scarce and has to be extracted in an industrial process; therefore, its extraction is expensive. The unavailability of deuterium means that the cost of synthesizing D₂O goes higher due to lethurgy available sources.
