Abstract
Magnesium isotope separation was investigated by chemical ion exchange with the 1-aza-12-crown-4 bonded Merrifield peptide resin using elution chromatography. The capacity of the novel azacrown ion exchanger was 1.0 meq/g dry resin. The heavier isotopes of magnesium were enriched in the resin phase, while the lighter isotopes were enriched in the solution phase. The single stage separation factor was determined according to the method of Glueckauf from the elution curve and isotopic assays. The separation factors of 24Mg2+-25Mg2+, 24Mg2+-26Mg2+, and 25Mg2+-26Mg2+ isotope pairs were 1.012, 1.024, and 1.011, respectively.
