In search of a suitable ion exchange method for the enrichment of Li·isotopes, column elutions of Li-band have been examined under various conditions. For long distance displacement of the Li-band, BaAc 2 and CaAc 2 were found excellent for eluant, and the Li proved to be very well retained by hydrogen bed with Dowex 50 W-X 12, 50~100 mesh. From the standpoint of resin utilization and regenerant efficiency in cyclic column operation, CaAc 2 is preferable to BaAc 2 • Enrichment experiments were carried out with Li·isotopes, using the above exchange systems, which proved that 7 Li and 6 Li were well concentrateu in the respective ends of the Li-adsorption band. In one run, the 7 Li and 6 Li were enriched to 97.09 and 14.64% respectively in the front and rear edges of the band.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
