Description
Summary:The vapor pressure of /sup 13/CClF/sub 3/ relative to the vapor pressure of /sup 12/CClF/sub 3/ was measured as a function of temperature between 169/sup 0/ and 206/sup 0/K by using a modified Bigeleisen distillation column. The transient build-up of the isotopic concentration gradient along the length of the packed column during the start-up period was monitored by taking samples from the condenser section as a function of time. The gaseous samples were completely oxidized to carbon dioxide in the presence of a platinum catalyst and a large excess of oxygen at temperatures between 1050 and 1100/sup 0/C. The combustion products were purified by means of gas chromatography, and the purified carbon dioxide samples were analyzed in a Nier-type isotope-ratio mass spectrometer. The data of each distillation run were reduced in the light of Cohen's theory of the kinetics of square cascade of close-separation stages. The vapor pressure isotope effect for the carbon substitution in CClF/sub 3/ at temperatures between 169/sup 0/ and 206/sup 0/K was found to be an inverse effect and to be rather insensitive to changes in temperature. The relative vapor pressure may be expressed 1n(P'/P) = ((1.5 +- 14.1)/T/sup 2/) - ((0.159 +- 0.076)/T), or 1n(P'/P) = ((0.173 +- 0.098)/T) - ((0.11 +- 0.53) x 10/sup -3/), where P' and P are the vapor pressures of /sup 12/CClF/sub 3/ and /sup 13/CClF/sub 3/, respectively. To the first-order, the presence of chlorine isotopes would not affect the fractionation of carbon isotopes by the distillation of CClF/sub 3/. (auth)
