Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry(IDMS) is one of the analytical method which uses enriched isotope spikes and analyzes the abundance of element by comparison of the spectrum between spiked mass and non-spike mass. Especially, the Thermal Ion Mass Spectrometry with isotope dilution technique (in general ID-TIMS) is the most accurate method of the chemical analysis, which enables us to obtain the data better than 1% in accuracy and precision. In IDMS, enriched isotope spike is one of the most important factor in order to obtain the best data. For rare earth elements, in general, a mixture of /sup 138/La, /sup 142/Ce, /sup 145/Nd, /sup 149/Sm, /sup 151/Sm, /sup 151/Eu, /sup 157/Gd, /sup 163/Dy, /sup 167/Er, /sup 171/Yb, and /sup 176/Lu is used as composite spike. IDMS is very useful in geochronology and REE geochemistry. Especially, it is very effective in studying the “tetrad effect” of rare earth elements in natural samples.

수소동위원소의 실험과 취급 및 삼중수소 제거시설의 운용이나 더 나아가서 핵융합소재의 관리기술을 위해서는 수소동위원소분만 아니라 그들의 이성질체들에 대한 정성 및 정량분석이 필수적이며 이를 위해 기체크로마토그래피 분리법이 중요한 분석수단으로 활용되어오고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고순도 $H_2및$ $D_2의$ 수소동위원소 기체를 대상으로 하고 상용의 기체크로마토그래피 분석기를 사용하여 분리컬럼 분위기를 액체질소온도로 유지하고 헬륨 케리어기체를 특별제작된 진공-시료주입장치를 통해 펄스주입하여 크로마토그래피 분리실험을 수행하였다. 10%함량의 염화망간으로 부분 비활성화 시킨 산화알루미늄을 고정상으로 선정하여 이성질체의 분리를 억제할 수 있었으며 흡착후 분리용리시간이 단축된 비교적 좋은 수소동위원소 분리조건을 실증하므로서, 저농도 수소동위원소의 정량분석과 고순도 수소동위원소의 분리 및 농축기술 개발을 위한 기초를 마련하였다.

Separation of lithium isotopes was investigated by chemical ion exchange with a hydrous manganese(IV) oxide ion exchanger using an elution chromatography. The capacity of manganese(IV) oxide ion exchanger was 0.5 meq/g. The heavier lithium isotope was enriched in the solution phase, while the lighter isotope was enriched in the ion exchanger phase. The separation factor was determined according to the method of Glueckauf from the elution curve and isotopic assays. The separation factor of $^6Li^+$-$^7Li^+$ isotope pair fractionation was 1.018.

Radioisotope tracer experiments on the distribution and the binding of radionuclides to proteins in bivalve were carried out in order to gain further information on biochemical behavior of radionuclides in marine bivalve, Gomphina melanaegis. The radioactivities (cpm/g) of $^{65}Zn\;and\;^{54}Mn$ after 7 days exposure were highly concentrated in liver and kidney in comparison to soft parts. The gel filtration profile of $^{65}Zn$ in liver and kidney showed three elution peaks, while $^{54}Mn$ showed two peaks in liver and three peaks in kidney. On the gel filtration of $^{137}Cs$ in liver and kidney, most of $^{137}Cs$ were eluted on one peak. Thus, it was considered that each radionuclide was bound to different proteins in liver and kidney of bivalve.

In fields of operating or handling a hydrogen isotope facility, and of the technology for nuclear fusion source management, gas chromatography has been used as one of the practical techniques lot separation and enrichment of hydrogen isotopic gases including tritium. Chromatographic separation experiments of the hydrogen isotope mixture (hydrogen, deuterium and tritium) were carried out by use of a commercially available gas chromatograph. An aliquot of gas sample was injected by a specially designed vacuum sampler into the stream of inert carrier gas which went through the separation column under liquid nitrogen temperature. The complete separation of hydrogen isotopic molecules was observed with an alumina adsorbent partially deactivated by coating with 10% manganese chlorine. In addition, fairly good separation conditions were obtained without any appearance of nuclear spin isomers with shorter retention time, which would be available for the practical applications of the hydrogen isotope separation and enrichment.

Natural gases generally consist of mainly $^{12}C$ and about 1.1% of $^{13}C$. It is well known that a stable carbon isotope, $^{13}C$, has been widely used for the applications of medical, pharmaceutical, and agricultural tracers. As a result, the development of the separation and concentrating technology of $^{13}C$ can cause of high value-added products and the possibility of the generation of new carbon materials, In general, there are two kinds of approaches to obtain a stable $^{13}C$ isotope by the separation of cryogenic distillation. One is to obtain a concentrated $^{13}CH_4$ isotope from natural gas. Another approach is to get concentrated $^{13}CO$ by distillation followed by a chemical reaction of $CH_4$ and $H_2O$. In this study, rigorous process simulations of the cryogenic distillation have been performed and analyzed for the concentrated separation of $^{13}C$ isotopes from LNG and NG by using commercial process simulator. Due to the very small differences of relative volatilities and separabilities of $^{12}C$ and $^{13}C$, the process design and operation of effective separation and concentration of $^{13}C$ need special strategies and feasibility studies. Utilization of vapor pressure data to acentric factor in SRK equation of state and optimized process conditions have been able to predict for the effective of the separation yield and concentration of $^{13}C$ for the cryogenic distillation. The various operation strategies for both batch and continuous cryogenic distillation are also studied and suggested for the basic design of the process. Development of this study can provide a tool for the effective design and operation of the cryogenic separation of $^{13}C$.

Separation factor for $^6Li$ and $^7Li$ has been determined using ion exchange resin having 1,7,13-trioxa-4,10,16-triazacyclooctadecane ($N_3O_3$) as an anchor group. The ion exchange capacity of the $N_3O_3$ ion exchanger was 2.0 meq/g dry resin. The lighter isotope, $^6Li$, is concentrated in the fluid phase, while the heavier isotope, $^7Li$, is enriched in the resin phase. By column chromatography [0.3 cm(I.D)${\times}$30 cm (height)] using 3.0 M ammonium chloride solution as an eluent, single separation factor, ${\alpha}$, 1.018, i.e. $(^7Li/^6Li)_{resin}/(^7Li/^6Li)_{fluid}$ was obtained by the Glueckauf theory from the elution curve and isotope ratios.

우리나라에서 전체 발전량에 대한 원자력 발전량이 차지하는 비율이 현재 30퍼센트를 넘어서고 있고 계속 늘어날 전망이다. 이러한 산업경제의 선진화와 자립화를 추구하고 있는 현 시점에서 핵연료에 대한 기술확보 및 국산화는 머지 않아 대두될 국가적인 과제가 아닐 수 없다. 현재 핵연료의 농축 및 공급은 몇몇 강대국에 의하여 독점적으로 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 기존하는 기체확산법이나 원심분리방법에 비하여 시설투자, 운영비 그리고 생산단가면에서 월등히 우수하다고 평가되고 있는 레이저 동위원소분리법이 대두됨에 따라 선진대열에 있는 많은 나라들이 핵연료의 자체확보를 위하여 이 분야에 대한 연구개발을 서두르고 있는 것이다. 우리나라에서는 이 분야에 대한 연구와 관심이 아직도 미진한 상태에 있으나 앞으로 이 분야에 대한 관심이 높아질 것으로 기대되고 있어 레이저를 이용한 동위원소분리방법에 대한 기초적인 원리를 소개하고자 한다.
