Abstract
The chromatographic fractionation in Zn isotopes was performed on the synthesized benzo-15-crown-5 resin at 313 and 343 K. The lighter isotopes were found enriched in the resin phase. The isotope fractionation coefficients (ε) were 3.4 and 2.9×10−4, 4.7 and 4.7×10−4, and 6.7 and 5.7×10−4 for the 66Zn/64Zn, 67Zn/64Zn and 68Zn/64Zn isotopic pairs at 313 and 343 K, respectively. They reflected mass-dependence among the Zn isotopes at each operated temperature but did not show 1/T2 -temperature proportionality. The temperature effects of the composition of Zn species both in the solution phase and in the resin phase may account in part for the latter observation. The magnitudes of ε's in this study were comparable to the ones obtained by ion exchange chromatography, but much smaller than those observed in the solvent extraction systems with a crown ether in the organic phase.
