Lithium isotope effects in extraction of lithium chloride by benzo-15-crown-5 in the 1,1,7-trihydrododecafluoroheptanol–water system

Аннотация

The extraction characteristics of the 1,1,7-trihydrododecafluoroheptanol water system have been studied for lithium chloride as the salt to be extracted and benzo-15-crown-5 as the extracting agent, as well as blank extraction of lithium chloride in this system. Single-stage lithium isotope separation factors (a) have been measured at various lithium chloride concentrations in water, and the isotope effect has been multiplied by extraction chromatography. The value of a for the Li⁶–Li⁷ pair was 1.024. The light lithium isotope is concentrated in the organic phase.
