International databases for deuterium oxide price – Part two

Some reliable databases which provide information about the international trade of deuterium oxide and its global price are as follows:

Trade Data Online

Trade Data Online is one of the services provided by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada or ISED, the department of the Government of Canada. The Department headquarters are located in Ottawa, Ontario. Trade Data Online provides the ability to generate customized reports on Canada and U.S. trade in goods with over 200 countries.

USITC (United States International Trade Commission)

USITC is an independent, bipartisan, quasi-judicial, federal agency of the United States that provides trade expertise to both the legislative and executive branches. Furthermore, the agency determines the impact of imports on U.S. industries and directs actions against unfair trade practices, such as subsidies, dumping, patent, trademark, and copyright infringement.

Eurostat International Trade

Eurostat is the statistical office of the European Union situated in Luxembourg. Its mission is to provide high quality statistics for Europe. Eurostat's main role is to process and publish comparable statistical information at European level. Eurostat's key role is to supply statistics to other DGs and supply the Commission and other European Institutions with data so they can define, implement and analyze Community policies.

Swiss-Impex

Swiss-Impex is the online database of the Swiss foreign trade statistics. The basic version provides access to statistics on imports and exports on a monthly basis since 1988, and includes groups of goods (tariff heading, nature of goods, broad economic categories and SITC) and countries.

International databases for deuterium oxide price – Part one

Some reliable databases which provide information about the international trade of deuterium oxide and its global price are as follows:

Zauba

Zauba is an online database that provides access to search import and export shipment records. It gathers data from more than 10,000 ports around the world using shipping manifests, bill of lading, bill of entries, and shipping bills. Zauba is based in Bangalore, India.

COMTRADE (Commodity Trade Statistics Database)

UN COMTRADE is the pseudonym for United Nations International Trade Statistics Database. UN COMTRADE is a repository of official trade statistics and relevant analytical tables. It contains annual trade statistics starting from 1962 and monthly trade statistics since 2010.

ITC (International Trade Center)

ITC is the joint cooperation agency of UNCTAD and WTO for business aspects of trade development. Originally created by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1964, ITC has been operated since 1968 under the joint aegis of GATT/WTO and the UN, the latter acting through the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). It is the focal point in the UN system for technical cooperation with developing countries and economies in transition in trade promotion and export development.

Deuterium oxide price – Part two

One of the major factors that affects the price of deuterium oxide is the volume of sales; So that by increasing the volume of orders to the bulk scale, the price of deuterium oxide will be reduced. There are a few companies in the world which can supply deuterium oxide in bulk scale.  Mesbah Energy Co. is an Iranian company which supplies a reliable and free from tritium source of deuterium oxide to global markets.

Mesbah Energy Co. was founded in 1998 in order to supply the required heavy water (deuterium oxide) for Arak heavy water reactor. This company is a leading producer of high quality deuterium oxide in the Middle East and is working under the authority of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI). The production capacity of the plant is up to 20 tons - pure heavy water with the isotopic concentration of 99.95% - per year.

Mesbah Energy offers deuterium oxide at a very competitive price and in the following packages:

 

Product	Qty.	Packaging
Deuterium oxide ≥ 99.95 atom %D	5 ml	glass bottle
Deuterium oxide ≥ 99.95 atom %D	10 ml	glass bottle
Deuterium oxide ≥ 99.95 atom %D	25 ml	glass bottle
Deuterium oxide ≥ 99.95 atom %D	50 ml	glass bottle
Deuterium oxide ≥ 99.95 atom %D	50 L	stainless steel drum
Deuterium oxide ≥ 99.80 atom %D	5 ml	glass bottle
Deuterium oxide ≥ 99.80 atom %D	10 ml	glass bottle
Deuterium oxide ≥ 99.80 atom %D	25 ml	glass bottle
Deuterium oxide ≥ 99.80 atom %D	50 ml	glass bottle
Deuterium oxide ≥ 99.80 atom %D	50 L	stainless steel drum

 

Deuterium oxide price – Part one

Deuterium oxide (heavy water) is a form of water in which both hydrogen atoms are the deuterium isotopes (heavy hydrogen) as opposed to the protium isotopes (light hydrogen).

The price of deuterium oxide (heavy water) varies immensely by purity. The price of deuterium oxide (heavy water) varies depending on the purity and volume of packaging. The higher the purity of deuterium oxide, its price increases, and if the substance (deuterium oxide) is sold in larger volumes, its unit price decreases.

In the global market various companies offer heavy water in diverse purity and volumes. Deuterium oxide is commonly packed in the following volumes:

• Deuterium oxide - 0.6 ml
• Deuterium oxide - 0.7 ml
• Deuterium oxide - 0.75 ml
• Deuterium oxide - 1 ml
• Deuterium oxide - 10 ml
• Deuterium oxide - 25 ml
• Deuterium oxide - 50 ml
• Deuterium oxide - 100 ml
• Deuterium oxide - 500 ml
• Deuterium oxide - 1000 ml
• Deuterium oxide - 1 gr
• Deuterium oxide - 5 gr
• Deuterium oxide - 10 gr
• Deuterium oxide - 25 gr
• Deuterium oxide - 50 gr
• Deuterium oxide - 100 gr
• Deuterium oxide - 125 gr
• Deuterium oxide - 250 gr
• Deuterium oxide - 1 kg
• Deuterium oxide - 4 kg

Deuterium oxide is usually supplied with the following purity (concentration):

• Deuterium oxide 10 atom %D
• Deuterium oxide 70 atom %D
• Deuterium oxide 98 atom %D
• Deuterium oxide 99 atom %D
• Deuterium oxide 99.8 atom %D
• Deuterium oxide 99.9 atom %D
• Deuterium oxide 99.96 atom %D
