Abstract
Cation exchange column chromatography of lithium was carried out to investigate the lithium isotope separation in aqueous ion exchange system. A Pyrex glass column of $50cm{\times}6mm$ inner radius with a water jacket was used as the separation column in experiment. Upon column chromatography using hydrochloric and succinic acid mixtures as an elunent, single separation factor, ${\alpha}$, 1.0068 was obtained. From the experiment, it was found that $^6Li$ was enriched in the resin phase and $^7Li$ in the solution phase.
