Resumen

A new set of isotopic thermal diffusion factors for Ar, Kr and Xe is reported. The data have been obtained from thermal diffusion column measurements in a column previously calibrated with Ne gas, and complete the αT data for the binary mixtures of noble gases given previously. The results lead to the conclusion that the thermal diffusion properties of the noble gases and their mixtures are well described by the law of corresponding states first proposed by Kestin, Ro and Wakeham. It is also concluded that the calibration technique used makes the thermal diffusion column a valuable instrument for the determination of the thermal diffusion factors of isotopic and non-isotopic dilute gas mixtures. © 1977.
