Abstract

Separation factor for $^6Li$ and $^7Li$ have been determined using ion exchange resin having 1,7,13-trioxa-4,10,16-triazacyclooctadecane($N_3O_3$) as an anchor group. The lighter isotope, $^6Li$ is concentrated in the solution phase, while the heavior isotope, $^7Li$ is enriched in the resin phase. By Ccolumnl chromatography[0.9cm(I.D)${\times}$20cm(height)] using 2.0M ammonium chloride solution as an eluent, single separation factor, ${\alpha}$, 1.009. i.e.$(^7Li/^6Li)_{resin}$/$(^7Li/^6Li)_{solution}$ was obtained by the Glueckauf theory from the elution curve and isotope ratios.

Anchor group으로서 1,7,13-trioxa-4,10,16-triazacyclooctadecane($N_3O_3$)을 가지고 있는 이온교환수지를 사용하여 $^6Li$$^7Li$의 분리인자를 측정하였다. 가벼운 동위원소 $^6Li$는 액상에, 무거운 동위원소 $^7Li$는 이온교환수지상에 농축되었다. 2.0M 염화암모늄 용액을 용리액으로 사용한 컬럼 [0.9cm(내경)${\times}$20cm(높이)] 크로마토그래피에 의하여, 1.009의 분리인자, ${\alpha}$, $(^7Li/^6Li)_{resin}$/$(^7Li/^6Li)_{solution}$값을 얻었다. 이 값은 용리곡선과 동위원소비로부터 Glueckauf 이론을 적응하여 얻은 것이다.
