An analytical system is suggested to separate a number of elements of the Periodic Table in a hydrogen or oxygen stream at temperatures up to 1400 °C. High temperature chemical filters are used to separate volatile products. The approach has demonstrated its efficiency in a number of examples of carrier-free isotope production from targets irradiated at an accelerator: 109Cd from In; 22Na from Al; 72Se from GaAs; 188Pt, 183Re, 185Os and 201Tl from Pb or Bi; separation of Po from Pb and Bi, etc. Another application of high temperature chemical sublimation of elements and oxides was realized in activation analysis of noble metals in various ores and samples.
