Counter-current electromigration separation of ions by nuclear membranes

Parameters of electromigration separation of cesium and sodium ions by means of nuclear membranes are experimentally determined. Separation was carried out in aqueous solutions of acetates of these metals (counter-current was carried out by the acetic acid solution) and it was controlled radiometrically using radioactive tracers 137Cs,22Na. Possibility in principle to realise the effect of counterflow electromigration separation of cesium and sodium ions at the 10μm height of a separation layer is shown. The structure of nuclear mambranes provides the homogeneity of the solution flow along the whole cross section of a separation cell, and, as a result, HETP approximates practically to a theoretically possible value
