Method of enhancing selective isotope desorption from metals

Patent Knize, R.J.; Cecchi, J.L.

A method of enhancing the thermal desorption of a first isotope of a diatomic gas from a metal comprises the steps of (a) establishing a partial pressure of a second isotope of the diatomic gas in vicinity of the metal; heating the metal to a temperature such that the first isotope is desorbed from the metal; and reducing the partial pressure of the desorbed first isotope while maintaining the partial pressure of the second isotope substantially constant. The method is especially useful for enhancing the desorption of tritium from the Zr-Al getter in a plasma confinement device.

Method for isotope-selective vibrational excitation of a gaseous compound of an isotope using multiple wavelengths

Patent St. Peters, R.L.

In an isotope-separation process, using polyatomic molecules having a complicated absorption spectrum such that the isotope shifts are masked, a plurality of laser pulses are used to irradiate a gaseous mixture of molecules including a compound of a desired isotope so as to raise the molecules thereof to higher vibrational energy levels which are substantially unpopulated thermally. The laser pulses have slightly different wavelengths corresponding to respective specific rotational lines of specific vibrational level transitions of molecules containing the desired isotope.
Removal of organics and volatile metals from soils using thermal desorption

Patent Lahoda, E.J.; Grant, D.C.

An apparatus is described for removing volatile and semi-volatile contaminants from contaminated materials, comprising: a chamber having an inlet end and a discharge end; a belt conveyor for moving the contaminated material through the chamber from the inlet end of the chamber to the discharge end of the chamber; at least one heater positioned within the chamber above the belt conveyor for heating the contaminated material positioned on the belt conveyor as the contaminated material moves through the chamber for volatilizing the contaminants and for producing a processed material; means for maintaining oxygen concentrations, temperature, and time conditions effective tomore »« less
Method of separating isotope compounds by selective excitation and reaction in a solid matrix

Patent Gregorius, K.; Janner, K.; Muller, R.

Separation of an isotope substance from a vaporous mixture of isotope substances such as UF6, is accomplished by selective excitation of low temperature of one isotope compound by electromagnetic radiation to effect chemical reaction of the excited isotope compound with a reaction partner. Separate bodies of the vaporous mixture of isotope compounds and the reaction partner are cooled by adiabatic expansion to a temperature below 100 K. The cooled vapors are mixed in a chamber where the reaction partner is condensed to form solid matter into which isotope compounds are incorporated. The solid matter with or without compacting is subjectedmore »« less
