Abstract
The influence of distribution coefficients on the separation factor of lithium isotopes was studied with Dowex 50W-X8, 200–400 mesh, ammonium form, strongly acidic cation exchanger by changing the pH and EDTA concentration of the eluent. It was found that the larger the EDTA concentration in the buffer solution, the smaller the distribution coefficients were. The separation factor was increased with decreasing EDTA concentration. The separation factor of lithium isotopes linearly increased up to a distribution coefficient value of 30, and gradually increased above 30. The optimum value of distribution coefficient of lithium to separate litihium isotopes was about 30. The distribution coefficient was increased with increasing pH, but the separation factor of lithium isotopes has no relation with pH.6Li concentrated on the resin phase, and7Li in the solution phase.
