The Concentration of Isotopes C13 and O18 in Carbon Monoxide by the Thermodiffusion Method USSR.
Abstract
As shown by theoretical computation, the site-state factor of the separation of isotopes of carbon by means of thermo-diffusion is higher for carbon monoxide than for carbon dioxide. Therefore, in spite of certain inconveniences in work with carbon monoxide because of its toxicity, it is advantageous to produce the concentration of the isotope c15 using carbon monoxide as fissionable gas. Besides, carbon monoxide, unlike methane for which the single-state separation factor is still higher, is more stable thermally and can easily be obtained in a pure state, which excludes the negative effect of impurities on the separation process. There is only one written work on the separation of the Isotopes of carbon by means of the thermo-diffusion of carbon monoxide /1/, which was carried out under conditions different from those examined below.
