Theoretical study of isotope separation by displacement chromatography

Journal Article · · Sep. Sci. Technol.; (United States)
A set of equations is derived to describe mathematically the isotope distribution in the separation process of displacement chromatography. Emphasis is placed on nonsteady-state isotope accumulation in the boundary region of a migration band. Mathematical treatment is extended to the determination of HETP of experimental systems. The relation between the frontal isotope ratio r/sub L/ and the migration length is also obtained. The validity of the derived equations is verified by using the reported experimental data on boron isotope separation by ion-exchange chromatography. 16 references, 3 figures.
