Abstract

The invention discloses a method for separating and enriching lithium isotopes by utilizing membrane extraction. The method comprises the following steps of extracting and separating by adopting a membrane, wherein the material liquid phase and the extraction phase respectively flow at two sides of the membrane, the material liquid phase is an aqueous solution containing lithium isotopes 6Li and 7Li, and the extraction phase is an organic phase, and contains an extraction agent with an enriching effect to 6Li or 7Li, and enriching the lithium isotopes in the material liquid phase by a membrane component. After the lithium isotopes are enriched by the extraction phase, the enriched lithium isotopes enter the water phase via reverse extraction. The lithium isotopes are separated and enriched by adopting a membrane extraction method; the method is a simple, efficient and low-energy-consumption technological method, and has the advantages of small occupied area, running stability, easiness in scale expansion and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of isotope separation and enrichment, and in particular relates to a method and device for lithium isotope separation and enrichment by membrane extraction. Background technique [0002] Lithium, as an emerging energy metal, is known as industrial MSG and has two stable isotopes, 6Li and 7Li, whose natural abundances in nature are about 7.5% and 92.5%, respectively. [0003] 6Li and 7Li play an extremely important role in nuclear reactions. 6Li is an essential fuel for nuclear fusion reactors. After neutron bombardment of 6Li, tritium and helium are generated, which makes the tritium in the fusion reactor continuously proliferate, produces a strong thermonuclear reaction, and releases a large amount of Therefore, 6Li, as an ideal nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors, plays a very important role in nuclear power generation and hydrogen bomb production. The Argone National Laboratory in the United States estimate...
