Lithium Isotope Separation

Lithium isotopes have important applications in nuclear energy source. Lithium isotope separation has attracted much attention of governments and scientists worldwide in the last few years. A lot of studies on the theory and application of lithium isotopes separation have been developed, and great advances have been made in many domains, especial in the non-Hg extraction system. In this paper, the methods of lithium isotope separation such as lithium amalgam, extraction, ion exchange chromatography have been summarized, classified and reviewed in detail.
