Abstract:

Proton backscatter analysis has been used to study lithium-boron residues which have been produced by a chemical process designed to extract the free lithium phase from lithium-boron alloys. On the two samples studied there is no evidence of the presence of Li on those surfaces which were in direct contact with the extraction chemicals. This depletion appears to be at least 3.5 microns deep. Measurements on the inside surfaces show that Li is present in a concentration which is in excess of the bound Li content of the samples.
