冠状化合物在锂同位素分离中的应用

锂有两种稳定的同位素且在核能工业中都有重要的应用,工业上分离锂同位素的方法为锂汞齐法,但该法需使用大量有毒的汞,对人类健康和环境卫生带来了严重问题,因此寻找一种绿色有效的替代方法势在必行。自冠醚和穴醚合成后,在锂同位素分离上的优良特性使其成为了国内外研究热点,本工作将近40年来冠状化合物在锂同位素分离中的研究成果进行了系统的归类和总结,为该领域的进一步研究提供参考。

Application of Crown Compounds in Lithium Isotopes Separation

Lithium is composed of two stable isotopes that both have important application in the nuclear power industry. The industrial method for lithium isotope separation is with amalgam, but huge volumes of toxic mercury used in this method bring about serious health and environmental problems. Thus, it is imperative to look for a green and effective method for lithium isotope separation. Since the crown ether was synthesized, it has become a research focus for its excellent properties on lithium isotope separation. In this paper, to provide a reference for the further research, nearly 40 years of research achievements in lithium isotopes separation by crown compounds were classified and summarized.
