Fractionation of the Lithium and Potassium Isotopes by Chemical Exchange with Zeolites
Abstract
A study has been made of the fractionation of the lithium isotopes by electrolysis and of the lithium, potassium, and nitrogen isotopes by chemical exchange with zeolites. The fractionation factor obtained by a ``batch'' electrolysis of lithium chloride solution was 1.039. The normal abundance ratio of the lithium and potassium isotopes was determined and found to be 11.71±0.14 for Li7 : Li6 and 14.10±0.09 for K39 : K41. The fractionation factor for the lithium isotopes in exchange with sodium zeolite was found to be 1.022. A partial separation of the lithium, potassium and nitrogen isotopes has been effected using long columns filled with zeolites. Both an increase and a decrease of about 25 percent from the normal abundance ratio has been obtained for the lithium isotopes and a change of about 10 percent for the potassium and nitrogen isotopes. Some of the factors involved in the mechanism of the process are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
