SEPARATION OF CALCIUM ISOTOPES BY COUNTER CURRENT ELECTROMIGRATION IN MOLTEN SALTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4773210

The enrichment of calcium isotopes by the method of countercurrent electromigration was studied. The electromigration cell, made of transparent quartz, was in the form of a transport number tube, consisting of two reservoirs separated by a diaphragm of alumina or zircon sand. Calcium bromide, with an addition of potassium bromide, was used in the cell. Separation factors ranging from 2.1 to 4.1 were obtained. It was found that the enrichment factors increase almost linearly at the beginning of an experiment and then rather rapidly approach a limit. The mass effect of the calcium ion was found to be 0.080.
