Heavy Water Could Change Industrial Chemistry
Heavy water studied at the American Chemical Society meeting shows reactions occur at low temperatures, suggesting substitutes for high heat processes. Princeton's Dr. Hugh S. Taylor notes heavy hydrogen affects enzymes and fermentation, potentially boosting alcohol and ammonia yields while slowing yeast and catalase activity. Sugar in pine sap may link to turpentine production, implying a wound-sap mechanism behind resin formation.
