Title: Method for enriching a gaseous isotopic mixture with at least one isotope

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5487535

There is described a method for enriching a gas-like isotopic mixture with at least one isotope, in which a mixture of Cf2Cl2 and O2 is irradiated by means of a pulsed and focalized laser beam having an optical frequency corresponding to a wave number lying in the band from 920 to 945 cm-1 to enrich the residual Cf2Cl2 with 37Cl, in the band from 1050 to 1075 cm-1 to produce CoF2 enriched with 13C and/or in the band from 1080 to 1095 cm-1 to enrich the residual Cf2Cl2 with 35Cl and 13C.
