Boron isotope separation by extraction method: features of the phase composition and flow reflux

Abstract

Abstract The publication is devoted to comprehensive studies of boron isotope exchange in two-phase liquid-liquid systems and reflects the features of the extraction separation of boron isotopes, including reagent-free phase flow reflux. The achieved experimental values of the single stage enrichment factor are commensurate with the analogous values for the main production technologies ofr the 10B concentrating, and the reagent-free version of the flow reflux determines the competitiveness of such process. The method is considered an alternative to ion exchange and liquid chromatography, and, possibly, chemical exchange with the participation of boron trifluoride.
