This paper presents experimental results on the assessment of the use of SES-ICP for the isotopic analysis of lithium. The triplet of lithium was studied, consisting of a pair of 670.776 nm and 670.791 nm lines of the Li/sup 7/ isotope and the pair of lines 670.791 nm and 670. 806 nm of the isotope Li/sup 6/. To eliminate the influence of self-absorption and to choose the working concentration of the lithium salt the authors studied the dependence of the response of the spectrometer on the concentration of lithium salt in the solution. The effect of the output power of the generator on the half-width of the lines in the triplet is studied. It is shown that the source of excitation of the spectra the inductively coupled plasma - can in some cases be used for isotopic analysis of lithium.
