Abstract
10B is an effective neutron absorbent, which endows its duty in nuclear industry as a protecting agent. The only industrialized process for preparation of 10B is chemical exchange distillation using anisole as a complexing agent. The drawbacks such as low isotope separation factor and instability under process conditions inspired continuous interests to find a replacement. A new complexing agent, o-fluoroanisole, was selected and evaluated for boron isotopes separation. O-fluoroanisole demonstrates better properties such as higher separation factor, lower freezing point of the complex and longer cycle life compared with those of anisole, which suggest it as a noteworthy agent used for separating isotopes.
