Isotope Enrichment in a Continuous Feed Process

Abstract

IN order to secure definite experimental evidence as to the validity or otherwise of my earlier tentative conjecture that there might possibly be an appreciable isotope enrichment in old electrolytic tin-plating baths, at my specific request Dr. W. E. Hoare, of the Tin Research Institute, has recently obtained some comparative isotope abundance measurements. These were carried out by G. Nief, of the French Commissariat à l'Éinergie Atomique. Abundances were measured for a commercial tin sample and on the previously mentioned 1½ year-old electrolytic sample from Ebbw Vale.
