Carboxylic acid resins and inorganic exchangers produced separation factors for lithium isotopes which were comparable to the factors observed for sulfonic acid resins. However, column efficiencies were not as good as those for sulfonic acid resins. The separation factors on phosphonous and phosphonic acid resins were an order of magnitude smaller than the factors for other exchangers. It is postulated that the degree of hydration of the lithium ion in the resin phase will determine the magnitude of the separation factor, and any mechanism that will dehydrate that ion will increase the factor.
