Abstract

In order to separate gaseous or vaporous substances having different molecular weights and/or different gas kinetically effective cross sections, by conducting the mixture to be separated together with a lighter additive gas into a separating chamber through two slit-shaped nozzles to form, in the chamber, two jets which are directed toward, and deflect, one another, the flow lines of each jet converging in the flow direction, dividing the thus deflected jets by means of separating baffles into partial streams of respectively different compositions, and discharging the partial streams separately from the chamber.
