Abstract

Researchers at the Russian Research Center Kurchatov Institute are developing a photochemical method of mercury isotope extraction. The method is based on oxidation of selectively excited mercury atoms in the presence of 1,3-butadiene. Along with the Hg-198, Hg-196, Hg-200, and Hg-202 isotopes, a Hg-199 isotope with a concentration as high as 90% has been produced for the first time.
