Molecular effusion isotope separation

When gas is forced through a fine porous membrane, the flow rate is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular weight. This process is called effusion and can sometimes be used for isotope separation. [Pg.61]

Since the molecular weight ratio of UF compared to UFg is 349/352, the effusion rate of the lighter isotope is only 1.004 times that of the heavier one. The design of the porous membrane to affect the separation was an... [Pg.170]
