Description

Investigations on separating hydrogen isotopes have been carried out in a system with plasma rotating in crossed E X B fields: a plasma centrifuge. The processing of chemical reactions in the plasma phase in a strong centrifugal field was simulated. High radial separation factors (up to 140) have been obtained for the decomposition of water vapor with simultaneous separation of hydrogen and oxygen. Because of spatial separation of the dissociation products there was no need for their special quenching
