DEVICE FOR CHARGED PARTICLE MASS SEPARATION Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: nuclear technology; applicable in isotope separation from their natural mixture. SUBSTANCE: device has vacuum chamber 1 accommodating charged particle source 2 containing ionization chamber 3, electrodes 4 and insulators 5. Separator 6 of charged particles is made in form of funnels 7,8 installed opposite to each other. Middle part of funnel 7 and wide part of funnel 8 are combined. Cross-sections of funnels 7 and 8 reduce from region of their combination to their opposite ends. Receiver 9 for collection of light particles is located near narrow part of funnel 7. Receiver 10 for collection of heavy particles is located near narrow part of funnel 8. Electrodes 11 and 12 are installed in wide part of funnel 7. Electrode 13 is installed in narrow part of funnel 7. Electrode 14 is installed in narrow part of funnel 8. Receivers 9 and 10 are coaxial and circular. Funnels 7 and 8 are made for passing over then of current constant in value but diverging in opposite directions. EFFECT: higher selectivity of isotope separation and compact and economical device. 1 dwg
