FIELD: cleaning and separation of mixtures of isotopes and isotope compounds at low separation coefficient.
SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes separation of mixture by rectification in column divided into sections and taking the liquid from under contact space of previous section which is delivered by activator for sprinkling the subsequent section above contact space followed by taking vapor above contact space of subsequent section and delivery of it under contact space of previous section. Used as activator is steam lift communicated with contact spaces of sections through hydraulic seals; evaporation of liquid and condensation of steam in steam lift are performed by delivery of working medium circulating in high-pressure and low-pressure cycles. Description of device proposed for realization of this method is given in Specification.
EFFECT: reduced usage of metal; reduced power requirements.
