Abstract
The isotopic equilibrium between the solutions of lithium salts (LiOH and LiCl) and SBS, KU-2, and Dowex-50 cationites is investigated. It is shown that, in the first place, the Li7 isotope was concentrated in the solution in all the cases which were investigated; in the second place, there is a dependence of the separation factor value α on the nature of the cationite; in the third place, in 1 N to 5 N solutions of LiCl, the value of a does not depend on the concentration of the solution.
