Isotope Separation by Aerosolization

这一阶段的SBIR奖是为了探索分离同位素的可行性，在这种情况下，根据含有这些原子的化合物表面活性的可能差异，分离这些原子。这种差异导致通过液体溶液上升的破裂气泡所产生的液滴中的浓度不同。这项技术非常简单，如果实现了适当的分离，可以很容易地适用于多阶段的同位素分离过程。

This Phase I SBIR award is to explore the feasibility of separating isotopes, in this case C12 and C13, based on possible differences in the surface activity of compounds containing these atoms. The difference results in different concentrations in droplets produced by bursting bubbles rising through liquid solutions. The technique is extremely simple and, if a suitable separation is achieved, could be adapted readily to a multistaged process for the separation of isotopes.
