Abstract

The Foton-M automatic system for the production of mercury isotopes has been developed in Russia. The isotopes are obtained by means of a photochemical reaction between excited mercury atoms and oxygen in the presence of 1.3-butadiene. The possibilities for separating all mercury isotopes, including those with overlapping resonance line profiles, are examined. The Foton-M system can produce 98%, 99%, and 99% concentrations of the isotopes Hg-196, Hg-198, and Hg-202, respectively, in sufficient quantities to meet demand in Russia and for export abroad.
