Titani(4) of Osaka carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide have been University from the thermal diffusion of methane, investigated by Brandner and Urey,(1) using and was fixed as silver carbonate. Carbon dioxide natural C13 isotope as a tracer, and by Norris enriched in C13 was prepared from the thermal and Ruben,(2) using radioactive C14 isotope decomposition of silver carbonate and purified by as a tracer. The particular mechanism proposed several fractionations. Carbon monoxide was pre- by Brandner and Urey was based on the as- pared from the decomposition of purified formic sumption of the presence of the activated forms acid by heated phosphoric acid and purified by the of water and hydrogen (or activated hydrogen usual method.
