摘要:
A system and method for continuously separating different isotopes of a particular element, such as Uranium, Zirconium, or Hydrogen, in an electrolytic medium. The ions of the isotopes to be separated are moved in the electrolytic medium using electric field. As the lighter ions will move faster than the heavier ions, the separation will happen and the lighter ions will be ahead of the heavier ions by a separation distance. To improve the separation, other forces (either proportional to the mass or not) are generated on the ions in directions that add additional separation factors. These forces could be centrifugal, electromagnetic, resistive dragging, mechanical (flow), etc. The invented separation process and device is simple and less expensive than other comparable devices, providing outstanding separation at low cost, and could be built using the already available materials and technologies that exist in any country in the world.
