摘要:
A method of simultaneously obtaining separate enriched fractions of heavier and lighter isotopes from mixtures thereof with the use of an ion exchange resin column by passing a ligand body containing this isotope mixture through the column. The isotopes, as they are passed through the column, are present in the forms of ligand-containing coordination compounds having different valence states and are followed by an eluant and form a band which travels through the column, the front and rear portions of which are respectively enriched in one of the isotopes and depleted in the other.

A salient part of the disclosure describes a method for separating U235 isotope from U238 isotope comprising introducing a solution containing a reducing cation such as Ti 3 into a cation-exchange resin column, thereafter introducing a uranyl solution containing both U235 and U238 isotopes, followed by introduction of a solution containing an oxidizing agent such as Fe 3 and thereafter separately recovering uranyl solutions containing uranium which is enriched in U235 isotope and uranium which is correspondingly depleted in U235 isotope.

Systems and methods for efficient, effective, and safe separation and isolation of multiple isotopes (e.g., Mo, Zr, Ba, Sr, Te, and lanthanide isotopes) from fission products includes use of a plurality of chromatography columns, each containing a chromatographic resin formulated to target one or more particular isotopes. The system is operable in a “series” configuration to load the multiple columns by a single pass of the sample. Then, the system may be transitioned (e.g., using valves) to a “parallel” configuration in which multiple columns of the system may be operated simultaneously to elute targeted isotopes. Additional parallel operations of the columns, using different eluent compositions, may be used to elute different targeted isotopes. The system may be reconditioned in preparation for a subsequent sample.

An isotope separation method, including introducing a first reactant stream (109), containing a natural abundance of at least one desired isotopologue molecule, a second reactant stream (110), and a recycle stream (112) into a photochemical reactor (101), thus producing a raw product stream (115), introducing the raw product stream (115) into a separation device (116), thus producing at least a product stream (117), a gas filter stream (113), and the recycle stream (112), and introducing at least a portion of the gas filter stream (113) into an unconventional (gas) filter (103), wherein the product stream (117) includes the at least one desired isotopologue molecule.

A method of producing 2,3-butanediol includes subjecting a 2,3-butanediol culture liquid produced by microbial fermentation to nanofiltration membrane treatment and ion-exchange treatment (Step A), and then adding an alkaline substance and performing distillation (Step B).
摘要:
A forward osmosis process is provided, which includes separating a feed part and a draw solution part by a semi-permeable film. An ionic liquid is introduced into the draw solution part, and brine is introduced into the feed part. The brine has an osmotic pressure lower than that of the ionic liquid, so that pure water of the brine permeates through the semi-permeable film, enters the draw solution part, and mixes with the ionic liquid to form a draw solution. The draw solution was obtained out of the draw solution part to be left to stand at room temperature, so that the draw solution separated into a water layer and an ionic liquid layer. The ionic liquid includes
摘要:
Systems, methods, and processes for a high throughput, low concentration processing of low activity tritiated light water include the electrolysis of at least some of the tritiated water to produce hydrogen and tritium gas. The hydrogen and tritium gas produced by electrolysis in some cases are combined with heated water vapor to increase throughput and passed through a liquid phase catalytic exchange column, which generally includes a catalyst that includes palladium coated with a hydrophobic polymer. As the hydrogen and tritium gas, along with heated water vapor, rise through the LPCE column, the tritium is retained on the catalyst. Deionized wash water passes down the column (i.e., in the opposite direction of the flow of the hydrogen gas and heated water vapor) and carries the retained tritium out of the LPCE column. Useful in separating tritium from radioactive waste materials and from the water from nuclear reactors.
摘要:
An apparatus for providing an inventory of an isotopically enriched acidic solution of an element that is capable of forming a water soluble weakly acidic solution at temperatures amenable to ion exchange and having a lower molecular weight isotope fraction and a higher molecular weight isotope fraction is disclosed. This apparatus includes at least two ion exchangers, each being temperature dependent with respect to their storage capacity of said lower and higher molecular weight isotopes, a hot tank containing a hot tank solution and a cold tank containing a cold tank solution both flow coupled to the ion exchangers. A first series of valves is selectively operable to direct the hot tank solution to one of the ion exchanger and to direct the cold tank solution to the other ion exchangers. A second series of valves is selectively operable to direct the flow from the ion exchangers to either the hot tank or the cold tank. An analyzer for sampling the solution is located upstream from the hot tank. The analyzer analyzes the sample to determine a content of the lower and higher molecular weight isotopes. A digital computer is connected to the analyzer for computing. a switchover signal based on a value of the actual lower molecular weight isotope enrichment flowing into the hot tank and a predicted value of the amount of the lower molecular weight isotope enrichment in the hot tank.
