METHOD OF SEPARATING LITHIUM ISOTOPES

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4098510
Lithium isotopes are separated by fractional precipitation, starting with a solution of a complex lithium salt (e.g., lithium salt of alumino-oxalic, - tartaric, or -citric acid), the precipitation being performed with NH/sub 4/ carbonate or phosphate under strictly optimal conditions as regards temperature, pH, rate of addition of the precipitant, and rate of stirring. Just prior to the first signs of precipitation the solution may be inoculated with the relevant finely divided Li/sup 7/ compound. The Li/sup 7//Li/sup 6/ ratio can be increased from 12.48 in the starting material to 26.80 to 34.71 in the first fraction. (NPO)
