Abstract
The remarkable event in the isotope separation field has become the selective laser and electric discharge excitation of atoms and molecules [1–4]. A comparative analysis of the selective methods and classical reversible ones, such as rectification and chemical exchange commonly used for stable isotope separation is given below. In reversible processes, the specific energy consumption required for phase conversion is not dependent on the production capacity level and are determined by where F, P, XF, XP, are feed and product flows and the desired isotope concentrations in them, is the elementary separation, coefficient. Analysis of rectification and chemical exchange systems has shown that the specific energy consumption is normally 102–5.104ev/atom (XP ≃ 0.9), the larger values being for the exchange processes with the chemical phase reversal and low-temperature rectification.
