Abstract

Fundamental equations for the isotopic ion exchange reaction were derived with various degrees of approximation considering the various kinds of external solutions and ion exchangers. The separation factors of lithium isotopes S 7 6(Li) in ethanol (or acetone)-water mixtures were determined with differently cross-linked sulphonated polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymers and synthetic inorganic ion exchanger Ionite C (zirconium phosphate type). LiOH system gave higher separation factors than LiCl systems. The highly cross-linked resins and synthetic inorganic ion exchanger are also favourable for the higher separation factor. The highest value 1·022 was obtained for the system of 0·1 M LiOH 20 per cent acetone-water mixture using synthetic inorganic ion exchanger. These experimental results were analysed by fundamental equations.
