Abstract
Preliminary characterizations on Li isotope separation with Li ionic conduc tors were carried out. Three types of Li ionic conductors, which were a spi nel Li4Ti5O12, a perovskite La0.55Li0.35TiO3 and a ramsdellite Li2Ti3O7 fro m the Li2O-TiO2 system, were selected. Electric conductivity and Li isotope separation efficiency were measured for each of the Li ionic conductors. I t was shown from the results that each Li ionic conductor has sufficient el ectric conductivity and high Li isotope separation efficiency. Li isotope s eparation factors of three of the Li ionic conductors compare with that of the amalgamation process with mercury.
