ABSTRACT A process for separating isotopes of a metallic element compris- ing the steps of preparing a compound consisting of a mixture of isotopes of the metallic element and a chemical moiety selected from the group consisting of organic derivatives, silicon derivatives and deuterated derivatives. At least one isotope specie of the compound exhibiting a fundamental, overtone, or combination vibrational absorption excitation energy level at a frequency between 900 and 1100 cm-1. Irradiating the compound with energy at a fre- quency between 900 and 1100 cm-1 to modify differentially properties of at least one isotopic specie of the compound to establish differences in proper- ties of the irradiated isotopic species, thereby facilitating a separation of isotopic species through physical and chemical procedures. Utilizing the established differences in properties so as selectively to recover an isotopic specie of the metallic element from the irradiated compound. Apparatus for separating isotopes of a metallic element to provide an isotopically-enriched product, comprising a reaction chamber with controlled temperature and atmospheric composition for retaining a chemical composition including a plurality of isotopic species of the metallic element, and a laser beam im- pinging upon the chemical composition in the chamber to interact with and to modify properties of tile chemical composition so as to facilitate the separation of isotopic components thereof.
