DEVICE FOR SEPARATION OF CHARGED PARTICLES BY MASSES Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: nuclear engineering. SUBSTANCE: located in vacuum chamber are: circular source of charged particles, isolators, charged particle separator and circular receiver of charged particles. Circular source of charged particles includes ionization chamber and electrodes forming drawing electric field. Charged particle separator is made in form of bell mouth bent over arcs of circular orbits of charged particles; it is provided with longitudinal slots. Circular source of charged particles is arranged near narrow part of separator along slots and charged particle receiver is made from elements; one elements is arranged around wide portion of particle separator along slots; other element is arranged near wide portion of this separator opposite charged particle source. Separation of charged particles by masses is effected on magnetic barrier of magnetic field formed by separator of increasing diameter along which electric current of constant direction flows. EFFECT: enhanced selectivity at separation charged particles by masses; reduced losses of agent being separated; reduced power requirements and overall dimensions. 3 dwg
