OPTIMUM PURIFICATION TECHNIQUES FOR THE REMOVAL OF CONTAMINANTS FROM LIQUID LITHIUM AND RUBIDIUM

Abstract

Techniques of analysis and purification of rubidium and lithium are described. A method for analysis of oxygen in rubidium based on freezing point depression was developed. The technique has a sensitivity of 10 ppm 02 with a precision of =10 ppm 02. Oxygen was removed from rubidium by stainless steel, zirconium and 50%Zr-50%Ti alloy. The oxygen equilibrium value of rubidium in contact with stainless steel or zirconium is <10 ppm at 1400 F; with 50%Zr-50%Ti alloy the equilibrium value is <10 ppm at 800 F.
