The invention belongs to the technical field of
isotope testing, and discloses a method for separating Co, Zn and Ni isotopes in a solution or a
solid sample and application, the method comprises the following steps: adjusting the pH value of a
rock sample solution twice to match the components and pH value of an
ion chromatography leacheate; the pH value of the
rock sample solution is adjusted for the first time: after the
rock sample is subjected to high-pressure closed ore
dissolution and
evaporation to
dryness, HClO4 is added for
evaporation to
dryness, HNO3 is added for
evaporation to a wet salt state, H2O is repeatedly added for evaporation to a wet salt state, then the volume is fixed, and the pH value is controlled to be about 1.5; adjusting the pH value of the rock sample solution for the second time: taking the rock sample solution of which the pH value is controlled to be about 1.5, diluting, adding high-purity
ammonia water, and adjusting the pH value to 5.3; the matching of the components and the pH value of the
ion chromatography leacheate comprises the following steps: preparing the
ion chromatography leacheate, and adjusting the pH value of the leacheate to 4.8 by using high-purity
ammonia water. According to the method, the matrix effect of main
transition metal elements such as Fe is reduced, and Co, Zn and Ni isotopes are rapidly and simultaneously separated.
