ELECTROLYTIC SEPARATION OF LITHIUM ISOTOPES IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF LITHIUM CHLORIDE USING A MERCURY CATHODE

Journal Article · · Acta Chemica Scandinavica (Denmark) Divided into Acta Chem. Scand., Ser. A and Ser. B
The separation factor, alpha , for lithium isotopes in the electrolysis of aqueous solutions of lithium chloride at a streaming mercury cathode was investigated as a function of temperature, current density, and electrolyte concentration. The highest separation factor, 1.056 plus or minus 0.004 was obtained in 9.6M LiCl at 5 deg C nt a current density of 0.5 tion factor in 9.6M LiCl, a difference in activation energy of about --75 cal/mole was found.
