Description
A weak shift of the isotope concentration ratio Li6/Li7 was measured in the coexisting phases of the miscibility gap of lithium-ammonia solutions. Li6 is slightly enriched in the concentrated metallic phase (enrichment factor α = 1.009 ± 0.002). This effect can be enhanced in a counter-current column to yield any desired enrichment of the two isotopes. The counter current system and its operation were tested succesfully with a sodium-potassium-ammonia solution
