Filtre ultra-fin servant à séparer l’uranium 235 de l’uranium 238, dans le procédé de diffusion gazeuse. 4, record 1, French, - barri%C3%A8re%20de%20diffusion

On peut utiliser des membranes semi-perméables présentant une perméabilité sélective vis-à-vis des gaz rares. De très nombreux matériaux ont été étudiés. Citons en particulier des alliages d’argent-palladium, le verre, la silice, le caoutchouc siliconé, différents polymères(polyéthylène, polypropylène, mylar, etc.). On peut ainsi réaliser une cascade de barrières de diffusion fonctionnant suivant un principe analogue à celui utilisé pour l'enrichissement isotopique de l'uranium par diffusion gazeuse. Cette technique nécessite une bonne propreté des gaz à traiter et l'élimination préliminaire des vésicules ou poussières. 5, record 1, French, - barri%C3%A8re%20de%20diffusion

Le paillage permet l'élimination de mauvaises herbes, une économie d’eau, le contrôle des remontées de sel en surface et l'amélioration de la couche superficielle du sol, qui s’enrichit en matière organique et n’ est pas lessivée. Les films plastiques assurent un meilleur échauffement des terres au printemps : ils procurent un gain de précocité pour les melons, les asperges, etc., et garantissent la propreté des fruits. 7, record 2, French, - paillis
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
L’utilisation de films plastiques souples en couverture du sol a représenté une véritable innovation technique qui a notablement élargi le domaine d’utilisation du paillage (maïs, vigne, cultures de primeurs de plein champ ou sous abri). 8, record 2, French, - paillis
