Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to a method for separating a carbon isotope and a method for concentrating a carbon isotope using the same, the method for separating a carbon isotope including: cooling a formaldehyde gas to a temperature of from 190K to 250K; and obtaining a mixed gas and residual formaldehyde by photodissociating the cooled formaldehyde gas, the mixed gas including carbon dioxide containing a carbon isotope and hydrogen.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for separating a carbon isotope ( 13 C) comprising: cooling a formaldehyde gas to a temperature of from 190K to 250K; and obtaining a mixed gas and residual formaldehyde by photodissociating the cooled formaldehyde gas, the mixed gas including carbon monoxide containing the carbon isotope ( 13 C) and hydrogen wherein a wavenumber of a photodissociation laser at the time of the photodissociating is 28396.1 cm −1 , 28401.3 cm −1 or a combination thereof. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cooling is performed by a cooling bath or a chiller including a mixture of ethanol and dry ice. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the photodissociating is performed under a pressure of 0.01 to 5 Torr. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the photodissociation laser used at the time of the photodissociating is an optical fiber laser. 5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: after the obtaining of the mixed gas and the residual formaldehyde, the mixed gas including carbon monoxide containing the carbon isotope ( 13 C) and hydrogen, separating the residual formaldehyde by cooling and condensing the mixed gas and the residual formaldehyde. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the cooling and condensing is performed at a temperature of 181K (−92° C.) or less. 7. A method for concentrating a carbon isotope ( 13 C) comprising: obtaining the mixed gas in which carbon monoxide containing the carbon isotope ( 13 C) and hydrogen are included, from formaldehyde by the method for separating the carbon isotope ( 13 C) of claim 1 .
