Resin type and resin diameter effect on the adsorption of boron isotopes

Abstract

Chromatography is a technique for molecular partition in which a fluid (mobile phase) carries the material containing the mixture to be separated (sample) past or through a solid or gel (stationary phase) contained in a vessel. The stationary phase has characteristics that delay the passage of some molecular components of the sample more than the passage of others causing them to separate in the mobile phase emerging from the column. The selection of stationary phase is one of the key factors for reaching an optimum separation in chromatographic applications. The scope of this work is to investigate the effect of resin type and diameter from the point of Langmuir adsorption isotherm parameters of 10B and 11B 1.
