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. One molar CH3COO Na solution was used as an eluent. The heavier isotope of lithium was enriched in the solution phase, while the lighter isotope was enriched in the ion exchanger phase. The separation factor was calculated according to the method of Glueckauf from the elution curve and isotopic assays. The single stage separation factor of lithium isotope pair fractionation was 1.021.

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry combined with the isotope dilution method is used for the determination of lithium. The isotope dilution method is based on the addition of a known amount of enriched isotope (spike) to a sample. The analyte concentration is obtained by measuring the altered isotope ratio. The spike solution is calibrated through so called reverse isotope dilution with a primary standard. The spike calibration is an important step to minimize error in the determined concentration. It has been found essential to add spike to a sample and the primary standard so that the two isotope ratios should be as dose as possible. Since lithium is neither corrosive nor toxic, lithium is used as a chemical tracer in the nuclear power plants to measure feedwater flow rate. 99.9% $^7Li$ was injected into a feedwater line of an experimental system and sample were taken downstream to be spiked with 95% $^6Li$ for the isotope dilution measurements. Effects of uncertainties in the spike enrichment and isotope ratio measurement error at various spike-to-sample ratios are presented together with the flow rate measurement results in comparison with a vortex flow meter.

Tetraazamacrocyclic ion exchangers tethered to Merrifield peptide resin (DTDM, TTTM) were prepared and the ion exchange capacity of these was characterized. The isotope separation of lithium was determined using breakthrough method of column chromatography. The isotope separation coefficient was strongly dependent on the ligand structure by Glueckauf's theory. We found that the isotope separation coefficients were increased as the values of distribution coefficients were increased. In this experiment the lighter isotope, 6Li was enriched in the resin phase, while the heavier isotope, 7Li in the solution phase. The ion radius of lighter isotope, 6Li was shorter than the heavier isotope, 7Li. The hydration number of lithium ion with the same charge became small as mass number was decreased. Because 6Li was more strongly retained in the resin than 7Li, the isotopes of lithium were separated with subsequent enrichment in the resin phase.

The exchange behaviors of hydrogen isotopes between protonated lithium metal compounds and deuterated water or tritiated water were investigated. The various protonated lithium metal compounds were prepared by acid treatment of lithium metal compounds with different crystal structures and metal compositions. The protonated lithium metal compounds could more effectively reduce the deuterium concentration in water compared with the corresponding pristine lithium metal compounds. The H⁺ in the protonated lithium metal compounds was speculated to be more readily exchangeable with hydrons in the aqueous solution compared with Li⁺ in the pristine lithium metal compounds, and the exchanged heavier isotopes were speculated to be more stably retained in the crystal structure compared with the light protons. When the tritiated water (157.7 kBq/kg) was reacted with the protonated lithium metal compounds, the protonated lithium manganese nickel cobalt oxide was found to adsorb and retain twice as much tritium (163.9 Bq/g) as the protonated lithium manganese oxide (69.9 Bq/g) and the protonated lithium cobalt oxide (75.1 Bq/g) in the equilibrium state.

용리 크로마토그래피를 사용하여 가수된 산화 망간(Ⅳ)이온교환체로 화학적 이온교환을 통하여, 리튬 동위원소를 분리하는 연구를 하였다. 산화 망간(Ⅳ)이온교환체의 이온교환 용량은 0.5meq/g이었다. 무거운 리튬 동위원소는 용액상에, 그리고 가벼운 동위원소는 이온교환 수지상에 농축되었다. 분리인자는, Glueckauf의 방법으로 용리곡선과 동위원서 분석 값들로부터 구하였다. $^6Li^+$-$^7Li^+$ 동위원소쌍의 분별로부터 얻은 분리인자의 값은 1.018이었다.

리튬동위원소의 분리 실험이 염산과 양이온 교환 수지를 사용하여 행하여졌다. 이 실험에서는 porous sulfonated styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer와 Dowex 50w-x8의 양이온 교환수지가 사용되었다. 리튬의 양은 원자 흡광 분석기를 사용하여 측정되었다. 리튬 동위 원소의 상대적 질량은 질량 분석기로 측정하였다. 동위 원소의 분리인자는 분별된 용출액의 동위 원소 조성으로 부터 계산되었다. 분리 인자의 값은 염산과 porous sulfonated styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer system에서 1.0020이었고, 염산과 Dowex 50w-x8 system에서 1.0011${\om}$0.0002이었다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 우리들은 분리 인자의 값이 Dowex 50w-x8에서 보다 porous sulfonated styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer에서 더 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

trans-1, 4-Dideutero-2-butenedial ditosylhydrazone has been synthesized to investigate the path of the acetylene formation in the pyrolysis of the dry lithium salt. Mass spectra showed that three isotope isomers of acetylene which might come from the strained ring compound, tricyclo[1, 1, 0, ] butane, were formed.
