On bulk isotopes

Definition of bulk isotope: bulk isotope refers to an isotope in which elements exist in nature. There are the same number of atoms in the nucleus, but the number of neutrons is different.

Application of bulk isotopes: bulk isotopes are widely used in geotechnical, environmental, medical, energy and other fields. For example, it is used in geochemical research to determine the age of rocks, minerals and soils, as well as elements on the earth as sources; in the medical field, it is used in the treatment of diseases and diseases; in the energy field, it is used in nuclear energy reactions and fuel equipment.

Generation of bulk isotopes: there are mainly several ways to generate bulk isotopes, one is natural isotope generation, the other is artificial isotope generation. Natural isotope generation refers to isotopes produced by nuclear reaction or radioactive decay, while artificial isotope generation refers to isotopes produced by high-energy particle collision or nuclear polymerization.

Measurement of bulk isotopes: the measurement of bulk isotopes mainly includes chemical separation, isotope ratio measurement, isotope temperature measurement and so on. Among them, the isotope ratio measurement is the most commonly used method, which can be used to determine the isotope content by measuring the relative degree of the isotopes in the sample.

The limitation of bulk isotope: the limitation of bulk isotope mainly includes resource limitation, technical limitation and cost limitation. At present, the main application fields of bulk isotopes include geochemistry, environment, medicine, energy and other fields. the demand for application in these fields is constantly increasing, and it also puts forward higher requirements for the research and application of bulk isotopes.
