Abstract

The ion exchange chromatography displacement technique was used for the enrichment of 15N. The runs were conducted in laboratory and bench scales using two systems of columns filled with Wofatit KPS ion exchange resin (medium porosity type). Ammonia NH4 +/NH3 aq. was chosen as the isotopic exchange system. The ammonium bands formed in the columns were eluted by means of sodium hydroxide solution. Hydrodynamic patterns in the column beds was evaluated in terms of dimensionless Reynolds number. The results show that separation process can be performed in the turbulent or laminar flow regime.
