ABSTRACT:
A process and an apparatus are provided which separate the lower molecular weight isotope fraction from the higher molecular weight isotope fraction of an element which forms a water soluble acid at temperatures amenable to ion exchange. The separation is accomplished by shifting the equilibrium constants for absorption and desorption by temperature variations of the acidic solution. The process and apparatus are preferably employed to enrich a boric acid solution in its boron-10 isotope fraction by employing the use of ion exchange resins which are capable of thermally storing and releasing boron isotopes.
