PROCESS AND EQUIPMENT FOR SEPARATING ALKALI METAL, NOTABLY LITHIUM, ISOTOPES
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4101904
Alkali metul (notably lithium) isotopes are separated by countercurrent electromigration in one or more slightly inclined beds of molten nitrate which extend between a cathode and an anode space, the beds and spaces being hollowed out of a rectangular steatite block. Nitric acid vapor is continuously fed to the cathode space to reconvert the deposited alkaline metal to nitrate, while the flow in the beds is reduced by means of an inert granular filler (steatite, zircon, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc.). The steatite block is continued in a heated glass tube that is connected to a suction device. (NPO)
