Abstract
The boron isotope separation process, based on the exchange between boron trifluoride and boron trifluoride monohydrate, contains a chemical reflux reaction. Sulfur trioxide is used to convert the monohydrate to boron trifluoride gas. A method is given for limiting the great solubillty of boron trifluoride in the sulfuric acid. By this method a reflux ratio of 325 is attainable, sufficient for the production of boron-10 with 99% isotopic purity. (A.C.)
