Abstract Scope |
In terms of technology, it is essential to be able to produce materials with an enriched isotopic abundance, which is one that differs from natural abundance. Nuclear fuels, isotope-substituted compounds for chemistry and biology study, environmental geochemical signature tracers, radioactive tracers, nondestructive testing, radiation in human medicine, and other applications are only a few of the many uses for isotopes. The isotopic separation of many elements, including hydrogen, lithium, and iodine, among many others, is a frequently discussed research topic. Lithium isotopes are particularly significant among these isotopes for a number of purposes, including strategic areas. Since these isotopes are light, it is difficult to separate or enrich them. With an emphasis on electrochemical approaches for stable lithium isotope separation, selected major categories of Li isotope separation are discussed in-this presentation. |
