DE2013990A1 - Isotope separator - Google Patents

Abstract

Isotopes are separated by placing suction ports at various distances in front of an expanding gas jet contg. lighter and heavier molecules. The heavier molecules travel further and are drawn off via a pipe which is more distant than a separate pipe via which the lighter molecules aredrawn off.

Description

Jstopen cutting machine The invention relates to an apparatus which, for example, is able to separate the uranium jostpe U235 from the uranium jsotope 238 is.

It is known to use the so-called diffusion process for this separation oden to be made possible by ultracentrifuges. Both methods result in a major one technical effort The first entails very large amounts of electricity, The latter poses major problems for the technology, since the centrifuge moves very quickly must turn before the gas separates.

It is known that a gas moves in three ways.

a) in a kind of rotation b) in a kind of oscillation c) in a kind of rectilinear movement These 3 types of movement exchange the molecules below each other out.

The vibrations and the rotational movement contribute to a gas mixture to keep in turbulence for a long time. That's why it's very difficult to separate them.

In the gas centrifuge the centrifugal force must control the latter two Exercise energy constants. It is for this reason that such high speeds are required.

The aim of the invention is now the rotation and oscillation of the molecules in the third energy form to practice the possibility of movement in a straight line Move.

The process is known and is used to create a rocket jet or the nozzle jet uses a tunbine.

According to the invention, the gas that is produced in a Laval nozzle from a Pressure vessel coming very relaxed wind, in its heavier and lighter ones Components are disassembled.

The heavier molecules fly far, their @ug orbit is stretched. The lighter molecules have a curved trajectory and are few in length leads.

Two suction pipes are supposed to feed the gas or the wide, flying molecules and suck off the few molecules that fly far away due to their smaller mass.

The compression of the gas in a pressure vessel generates heat.

Relaxing the gases at the back of the @ Laval nozzle generates cold.

According to the invention, a heat exchange should be too high a heat of the gas prevent.

The suction of the gases behind the nozzle contributes to a possibly large amount Difference in pressure level at. This in turn leads to the fact that the gas molecules a Get the most straight-line diffraction energy possible.

Repeating the process several times as described Process would lead to a desired enrichment e.g. of U 235.
