Abstract:
Oxygen has three stable isotopes (16O, 17O, 18O) with a ratio of natural concentration of (99.759%, 0.037% and 0.204%). There are lot of applications in which (18O) is used, so it is necessary to produce it in industrial scale. This isotope can be separated by using various methods, one of them being the chemical exchange between nitrogen oxides (NOx) and nitric acid (HNO3). After a short description of the 18O separation process plant, the paper focuses on the experimental identification of the (18O) separation cascade, the first order models and the simulation of the cascade behavior.
