Abstract

Cation exchange chromatographic separation of lithium isotopes was carried out with an 4'-aminobenzo-18-crown-6(AB18C6) bonded Merrifield peptide resin. This resin has a capacity of 2.25 meq/g dry resin. Upon column elution chromatography, a single stage separation factor of 1.0095, was obtained by the Glueckauf theory from the elution curve and isotopic assays. The heavier isotope, 7Li, was concentrated in the resin phase, while the lighter one, 6Li, concentrated in the solution phase.
