The following are the important uses of heavy water:
As a neutron moderator
Fission in uranium-235 is brought by slow speed neutron. Heavy water is used for this purpose in nuclear reactors as moderators.
For the preparation of deuterium
Heavy water produces deuterium on electrylosis or by its decomposition with metals.
As a tracer compound
Heavy water is used as a tracer compound for studying various reaction mechanisms. It has also been used for studying the structure of some oxyacids of phosphorus such as H3PO2 and H3PO3, to determine the number of ionizable hydrogen atoms.
