Abstract
This invention relates to a process for the enrichment of isotopes by chromatography on a saturated stationary phase. The process provides a more efficient method than the existing methods.
Claims13
A process for enrichment of an isotope composition, comprising
- a. providing a chromatographic column having a stationary phase
- b. saturating the stationary phase with at least partially an isotope composition to be enriched
- c. injecting the composition to be enriched into the column together with a carrier gas
- d. enriching the composition by exploiting the difference in the isotope mass diffusivity.
