Problems solved by technology

Due to the characteristics of expensive production equipment, harsh production conditions, high energy consumption but small output, the physical method is not suitable for industrial production
Lithium amalgam separation of lithium isotopes has great disadvantages. A large amount of mercury metal is used in the separation process, which brings ecological environment and safety problems. Countries such as Europe and the United States have closed down some factories that use lithium amalgam separation of lithium isotopes.
[0004] Since Pedersen et al. synthesized a series of crown ether compounds in 1967, researchers have found that certain crown ethers have a huge lithium isotope effect, and have a separation factor comparable to lithium amalgam in terms of separating lithium isotopes. However, in During the separation and enrichment of lithium isotopes by liquid-liquid extraction of crown ether solvents, 6 Every 0.1% increase in Li abundance is very difficult

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lithium isotope separation, and in particular relates to an extraction system for separating lithium isotopes. Background technique [0002] Lithium (Li) exists in two stable isotopes in nature 6 Li and 7 Li, their natural abundance (referring to 6 Li and 7 The natural relative percentages of Li) are 7.42% and 92.58%, respectively, and these two isotopes play an extremely important role in the field of nuclear energy. Among them, the thermal neutron absorption cross section reaches 940b 6 After Li is bombarded and fissioned by neutrons (n), it can produce tritium and helium ( 6 Li+n→T+ 4 He), so a certain abundance 6 Li can be used as a raw material for nuclear fusion and other purposes; while the thermal neutron absorption cross section is only 0.037b 7 Li plays an important role in the regulation of nuclear reaction process and equipment maintenance. Nuclear fusion power supply is to use deuter...
