Radiation and Nuclear Chemistry - laboratory course 1200-1ENCHJRL5
The following topics will be covered during the course:
Isotope exchange; isotope effect; evaluation of mechanisms of chemical processes and determination of physical and chemical parameters, such as distribution coefficient, solubility and equilibrium constants, by means of application of radioactive isotopes; application of radioactive isotopes in determination of structure of chemical compounds; synthesis and application of chemical compounds containing radioactive isotopes; separation of isotopes important in power applications by means of extraction; qualitative and quantitative analysis of natural and artificial samples by means of radiation measurements, Mössbauer spectroscopy, activation analysis.
