System for preparing isotope-labeled carbon dioxide and method therefor

Abstract

Provided are a system for preparing isotope-labeled carbon dioxide and a method therefor. The preparation method comprises: vaporizing heavy-oxygen water and mixing the heavy-oxygen water with carbon dioxide, and subjecting the heavy-oxygen water and the carbon dioxide to an oxygen-exchange reaction by catalyzing them with a catalytic material, and performing gas-liquid separation after the reaction to obtain the isotope-labeled carbon dioxide. The system provided by the present application has a simple structure, and by adopting the heavy-oxygen water which has a wide source and low cost as an oxygen isotope source and utilizing the oxygen-exchange reaction, the replacement of oxygen-16 in normal carbon dioxide by oxygen-18 in heavy-oxygen water is achieved to obtain the oxygen-18 labeled carbon dioxide product. The process is simple and pollution-free, the utilization rate of oxygen isotope is high, the conditions of separation and purification are mild, and the system has good economic benefits and application prospects.
