- Synopsis:
-
This lecture consists of several chapters, at the beginning the chemistry of complex compounds, its generation and stability is discussed followed with speciation calculations. Next chapter gives a general overview of the separation methods and their comparison. Further, the fundamentals of liquid-liquid extraction, extraction of chelates, extraction chromatography, theory of ion exchange together with ion-exchange chromatography, and other chromatographic methods are discussed, all including theoretical aspects of the methods, widely used agents, and practical examples. The whole lecture is oriented to utilization of these methods in nuclear and radiochemistry, their advantages and specific requirements in the field.

- Study Objective:
-
Students will get knowledge of principles and function of the main separation methods used in radiochemistry and of an introduction to separation of radioactive substance. They will also get competencies to choose a proper separation method and procedure according to chemical and technical conditions, and an ability to make calculations for basic separation systems including interpretation of the results.
