Abstract: A process and apparatus for separating an isotope of an element from other isotopes of the element in a compound, where the compound is deposited as a monolayer on small glass beads, and the coated beads entrained in a carrier gas containing a scavenger gas. The entrained, coated beads are exposed to light from a laser that excites the one isotopic compound and causes reaction thereof with the scavenger gas, to form a reaction product, while the other isotopic compounds remain stable. The other isotopic compounds are then separated from the reaction product and the reaction product removed from the beads to provide the desired isotope.

Abstract: The isotopes of zirconium can be partially or completely separated by loading an aqueous solution of an ionic compound of zirconium onto a cationic exchange resin which serves as the stationary phase of a chromatograph, eluting the compound with an aqueous acid and collecting distinct elution volumes representative of each isotope. In a preferred embodiment, the eluant is a strong mineral acid, such as hydrochloric acid and the chromatograph is of a type, such as a continuous annular chromatograph that it can be operated in a continuous, steady state manner.

Abstract: The thermal neutron capture cross-section of zirconium may be altered by altering its natural isotope distribution through a steady state chromatographic separation of these isotopes using an anion exchange resin as the stationary phase of the chromatographic column. Zirconium is dissolved in a very strong acid which causes the formation of a zirconium anion, such as the ZrOCl.sub.4.sup.-2 anion formed in six normal hydrochloric acid, and eluted off the column with a weaker acid. Distinct elution volumes representative of each isotope are collected. In a preferred embodiment, the process also separates the zirconium from hafnium and the other impurities normally present in the product obtained by chlorinating zircon sand and utilizes a continuous annular chromatograph.

Abstract: Disclosed is an inorganic polymeric cationic ion exchange matrix which is the condensation polymerized reaction product of components including an alkyl compound of an element that has a valence of at least three, water, and a dopant having groups including an ion exchangeable moiety and a replaceable hydrogen. The ion exchange matrix is preferably made by adding the water to the alkyl compound first followed by the addition of the dopant, followed by heating to dryness. The resulting product is a powder or granule that can be used as an ion exchange matrix by placing it in a column and passing a solution through it which contains metal ions that are exchanged with ions on the polymer.
