  • Method and apparatus for separation of gaseous particles of different masses by centrifugal forces
    Patent number: 4090855
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for separating a gas mixture which is at least partially ionized into a lighter and a heavier fraction by rapid rotation about an axis of a separating chamber by means of magnetic and electrical fields. The ionized gas mixture is enclosed in a closed static magnetic field configuration which is rotationally symmetrical about the axis of the separating chamber and the thus enclosed gas mixture is penetrated with an externally applied electric field whose field lines lie in planes containing the axis of the separating chamber and contain components which are perpendicular to the magnetic field.
