Enriched media is different from Enrichment media...

Enriched media: Blood and other special nutrients may be added to general purpose media to encourage the growth of fastidious microbes. These specially forfited media are called as enriched media. e.g. Blood agar, Chocolate agar.

Enrichment media: This is a media which promotes the growth of a particular organism by providing it with the essential nutrients and rarely contains certain inhibitory substance to prevent the growth of normal competitors. e.g. Selenite F broth- this media favours thegrowth of Salmonella also prevents the growth of normal competitors like E. coli . but E.Coli do not perish in the medium but they do not flourish like Salmonella

Enrichment of uranium faster with higher enrichment?

The higher enrichment needed the more enrichment and stripper stages needed. However the speed of enrichment depends more on how fast you can pump the uranium hexafloride through the individual stages without exceeding their limits. These limits will vary depending on enrichment technology used.
