Heavy Water Plant at [[Talcher]] employs the ammonia-hydrogen exchange process (bithermal). The plant is located at a distance of 150 km from [[Bhubaneshwar]]. The work on this plant in October 1972 and it was commissioned in March 1985.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dae.gov.in/heavywaterboard.org/docs/hwptalcher1.htm |title=Heavy Water Board - Plant at Talcher - Page 1 |publisher=Dae.gov.in |accessdate=2012-01-14 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224045714/http://www.dae.gov.in/heavywaterboard.org/docs/hwptalcher1.htm |archivedate=2012-02-24 }}</ref> Operation of the plant was suspended in August 1994 due to unsatisfactory operation of the fertilizer plant of the [[Fertilizer Corporation of India Limited]], Talcher.<ref>{{cite web|author=John Pike |url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/india/talcher-nuke.htm |title=Talcher - India Special Weapons Facilities |publisher=Globalsecurity.org |date= |accessdate=2012-01-14}}</ref> | Heavy Water Plant at [[Talcher]] employs the ammonia-hydrogen exchange process (bithermal).

Subsequent to closure of the Heavy Water Plant in Talcher, the plant operation was resumed later and an R&D pilot plant has been commissioned for the production of di-2-ethyl hexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA), an effective metal extractant, used for hydro-metallurgical recovery and the separation of various metals. The [[solvent]] is useful for concentrating and purifying the valuable metal solutions of low-grade complex ores and is already being used by India's nuclear industry at various commercial operations for the separation and recovery of [[zinc]], [[cobalt]], [[nickel]] and [[lanthanide | Subsequent to closure of the Heavy Water Plant in Talcher, the plant operation was resumed later and an R&D pilot plant has been commissioned for the production of di-2-ethyl hexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA), an effective metal extractant, used for hydro-metallurgical recovery and the separation of various metals.
