The Separation of Light Gaseous Isotopes by Mass Diffusion Columns II
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The design of mass diffusion columns operated with partition membranes, for the separation of light gaseous isotopes, is discussed. A theoretical analysis of experimental results obtained indicates that a good agreement between experimental results and theory is only obtained at low column pressures and moderate countercurrent flow rates. At fairly low countercurrent flow rates mixing effects due to viscous dragging and gas solubility by the condensate appear to be considerable whereas excessively high countercurrent flow rates, on the other hand, also seem undesirable. Some suggestions are proposed to obviate impairing effects at least to some extent.

متن کاملLaser Separation of Isotopes
In nature most elements are mixtures of isotopes: they are made up of at oms that all have the same number of protons and electrons but that differ in number of neutrons. Ordinarily the fact that an element is a mixture of sev eral ·kinds of atoms matters little be cause the various isotopes are all but indistinguishable in most of their prop erties. For that very reason. however. when we d...

The range of the radiocarbon dating method can be extended by about 20,000 years by means of thermal diffusion isotopic enrichment. A description of the Clusius-Dickel type enrichment columns and their operation is given. Prior to enrichment the carbonaceous sample material is combusted to C0 2 and then reduced to CO. The enriched sample is re-oxidized to C0 2 . The combustion-, reductionand ox...
متن کاملComputational Analysis of Signatures of Highly Enriched Uranium Produced by Centrifuge and Gaseous Diffusion
Different enrichment processes have been used historically to produce highly enriched uranium (HEU) for weapon purposes. The most relevant ones are the gaseous diffusion process and the gas centrifuge. The two exploit different physical principles to separate isotopes of different molecular weight. It could therefore be expected that HEU might carry an isotopic signature that is unique to the e...
متن کاملSegregation of isotopes of heavy metals due to light-induced drift: results and problems
Atutov and Shalagin (1988) proposed light-induced drift (LID) as a physically well understandable mechanism to explain the formation of isotopic anomalies observed in CP stars. We generalized the theory of LID and applied it to diffusion of heavy elements and their isotopes in quiescent atmospheres of CP stars. Diffusional segregation of isotopes of chemical elements is described by the equatio...
