Abstract

The invention provides a shunting extraction process for separating a lithium isotope. The shunting extraction process mainly comprises an extraction enrichment section, a shunting enrichment section,an up-conversion phase section and a down-conversion phase section, wherein a liquid phase B in the extraction enrichment section is partially shunted into the shunting enrichment section, and contacts with the countercurrent of a liquid phase A in the shunting enrichment section; the liquid phase A enters the extraction enrichment section after flowing out. By adopting the special shunting return process, the yield of a final enrichment product is not lowered, and the size of most equipment in the extraction enrichment section is reduced, thereby effectively lowering the corresponding equipment cost and operating cost. The process provided by the invention also has the advantages of simple process, convenience in operation, environmental friendliness and the like, and efficient separation and enrichment of the lithium isotope can be realized.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to isotope separation in the chemical industry, in particular to a split extraction process for separating lithium isotopes. Background technique [0002] There are two natural isotopes of lithium (Li) in nature, namely 7 Li (lithium-7) and 6 Li (lithium-6), accounting for 92.48% and 7.52% respectively. After separation, enrichment and concentration of these two isotopes, each has important and different uses in the field of nuclear materials. In the thorium-based molten salt pile, 7 Li is an essential molten salt coolant, due to 6 The thermal neutron absorption cross-section of Li is very high, reaching 941 barns, while 7 Li is only 0.033barns, so the molten salt pile 7 Li's isotope abundance requirements> 99.995%. At the same time, high purity 7 Li is often used to adjust the pH value of the primary coolant in a pressurized water reactor, in a fusion reactor 7 Li is also used as a heat carrier for heat conduction. on the other h...
