Patent
Laser separation of isotopes using uranyl compound
Description
An isotope separation process is claimed. The process comprises vaporizing a uranyl compound with the formula (UO2AA')sub(n), where A and A' are monovalent anions and n is an integer greater than 1 and irradiating the uranyl compound with infrared radiation which is preferentially absorbed by a molecular vibration of uranyl ions of the compound containing a predetermined isotope. It is preferred that the uranyl compounds be irradiated at a wavelength of about 8.0 to 1116cm-1 and thus the preferred means of providing the infrared radiation is by the use of a carbon dioxide laser
