Abstract
Water-based compositions suitable for the hydration of a mammal, and particularly hydration of a human by oral or topical methods, and for industrial uses such as cooling, and the making of solutions and mixtures. A method for producing a beverage, an industrial process water, an industrial solvent, or topical dermatological composition includes: providing a water source, the water molecules having oxygen or hydrogen atoms of different isotopes, (i) fractionating the water source to produce a fraction enriched in water molecules having an abundance of at least one of the oxygen or hydrogen isotopes being greater or less than the abundance found in the water source, or (ii) where the water source is already enriched in heavy water, fully or partially maintaining the level of enrichment.
Claims27
A method for producing a beverage or an industrial process water or, or an industrial solvent, or a topical dermatological composition, the method comprising:
- providing a water source, the water molecules having oxygen or hydrogen atoms of different isotopes, and
- (i) fractionating the water source to produce a fraction enriched in water molecules having an abundance of at least one of the oxygen or hydrogen isotopes being greater or less than the abundance found in the water source, or
- (ii) where the water source is already enriched in heavy water, fully or partially maintaining the level of enrichment.

A method of performing an industrial process, the method comprising:
- contacting industrial process water to an item of industrial equipment, wherein the industrial process water is produced by a method comprising providing a water source, the water molecules having oxygen or hydrogen atoms of different isotopes, and
- (i) fractionating the water source to produce a fraction enriched in water molecules having an abundance of at least one of the oxygen or hydrogen isotopes being greater or less than the abundance found in the water source, or
- (ii) where the water source is already enriched in heavy water, fully or partially maintaining the level of enrichment.
A method comprising:
- forming a solution of a solute or a liquid mixture at an industrial scale, comprising providing a solute or liquid and contacting the solute or liquid with an industrial solvent, wherein the industrial solvent is produced by a method comprising providing a water source, the water molecules having oxygen or hydrogen atoms of different isotopes, and
- (i) fractionating the water source to produce a fraction enriched in water molecules having an abundance of at least one of the oxygen or hydrogen isotopes being greater or less than the abundance found in the water source, or
- (ii) where the water source is already enriched in heavy water, fully or partially maintaining the level of enrichment.
