摘要: <正> 自从T.I.Taylor和H.C.Urey首次应用化学交换法分离锂同位素以来,对离子交换色层分离同位素的理论和技术进行了许多研究和改进,F,H.Spedding等人应用带迁移法成功地分离了~(14)N和~(15)N。我们采用这一方法,对铀酰盐水溶液和磺酸型阳离子交换树脂间的同位素交换反应、同位素效应的叠加作用等进行了研究和实验,并对造成铀同位素Abstract: This paper deals with the exchange reactions of U-isotopes between an aqueous solution of uranyl salt and a bed of cation exchange resin particles in displacement chroma-togram. It has been proved by experiment that when the exchange reaction of U-isotopes of uranyl ion between two phases is carried out, the isotope of U-235 is enriched in the liquid phase; and then the exchange reaction between the uranyl ions and the complexes (UO2A) in the liquid phase takes place and the isotope of U-235 is enriched in the UO2A. It has been shown that two isotope effects mentioned above are superimposed in the separation process. Moreover, a simple model and an expression of the superimpo-sition are given, which indicates that the slight difference between U-235 and U-238 in their ability to form the complexes is the main reason for the separation of the uranium isotopes.
