Physico-chemical and engineering principles of boron isotopes separation by using BF3-anisole center dot BF3 system

This review is devoted to consideration of physico-chemical and engineering data required for realization of boron isotopes separation by ti a method of chemical isotope exchange between BF3 and the complex anisole.BF3. The p roperties of the initial substances and anisole.BF3 complex required for ca lculation of the separation process are considered. The data on phase equil ibrium in the system, isotope equilibrium, kinetics of interphase isotope e xchange, and implementation of phases conversion are presented. This articl e considers comprehensively the reasons for anisole decomposition and the m easures for its prevention. The problem of hydrodynamics and choice of pack ing are investigated. The conditions of initial substances preparation are treated. Perspective trends of separation process improvement are discussed .
