Heterophase isotopic SF6 molecule separation in the surface electromagnetic wavefield

摘要

An experimental investigation has been performed of sulphur hexafluoride molecules separation by diffusion through a metallized fine-porous membrane in the field of surface electromagnetic wave (SEW) induced by CO$-2$/ laser radiation. Dependencies of SF$-6$/ mixture separation coefficient are obtained upon different parameters: SEW intensity, isotropic composition, and pressure of the initial mixture. The influence of an inert gas admixture upon the separation efficiency is studied. A possible mechanism of heterogeneous separation of molecules induced by SEW is suggested.
