Enriched Zinc
Enrichment of Zinc in one of its five natural isotopes and delivery in the chemical form required by the client
-
Zinc isotopes have various applications, from the medical field as precursors of medical radioisotopes Cu-67 and Ga-68, to the industrial world where zinc depleted in Zn-64 is used to limit corrosion in the cooling system of nuclear reactors while limiting primary circuit dose-rate. These applications require a high enrichment level, a very high chemical purity and a reliable and thorough supply chain.
-
With its gas centrifugation isotope separation process, using state-of-the-art centrifuges, Orano Stable Isotopes is able to enrich zinc over 98%, for each one of its 5 natural isotopes (64, 66, 67, 68 and 70) Orano offers a reliable, proven and efficient solution for zinc enrichment.
This solution is completed with deconversion services in the chemical form required.
